Hindu Karma should not be confused with Buddhist Kamma.

Kamma is the emotional impulse that is behind our actions. The mental picture we carry of the world and what we meet in it, results in subtle and not so subtle emotions which initiates our thoughts and motivates our actions. This emotion is kamma. When your mind is perfectly calm, there is no kamma.

In Buddhist terms, kamma or emotion, is considered unskillful. All emotion, (feelings of love or hate*), any outward physical or verbal display, is considered unskillful behaviour, i.e., bad kamma.
