Well , since I do not believe in reincarnation I try to live as though Karma is an immediate thing. If you are bad tempered then you will feel the effects of that. If not immediately then very soon. There are consequences. Natural ones that I consider to be karmatic. There are basic negative and positive energys that a person can feel and project outward. ( or inward ) You can say you are Buddhist all you want but if you have a bad ass temper then I would probably think the outward manifestation doesn't match the reality of the person inside.
Many religions are like this. The people do not live it outwardly. It isn't internalized spiritually. They are only on a intellectual level about their religion and it never reaches their heart.
I looked up Karma. I found alot of information that supports 'cause and effect'
