Where is Kamma

　　"Where. Venerable Sir, is Kamma

　　" questions King Milinda of the Venerable Nagasena.

　　"O Maharaja", replies the Venerable Nagasena, "Kamma is not stored somewhere in this fleeting consciousness or in any other part of the body. But dependent on mind and matter, it rests, manifesting itself at the opportune moment, just as mangoes are not said to be stored somewhere in the mango trees, but dependent on the mango tree they lie springing up in due season."

　　Just as wind or fire is not stored in any particular place, even so Kamma is not stored anywhere within or without the body.

　　Kamma is an inpidual force, which is transmitted from one existence to another.
