Vipāka

Vipāka (Sanskrit and Pāli) is a Buddhist technical term meaning the result of karma (Pāli kamma), or intentional actions.
In Buddhist belief, the law of kamma-vipāka is of great importance. In a discourse (A.N. VI.63 Nibbedhika Sutta) the Buddha said “Intention, monks, is kamma I say. Having willed, one acts through body, speech and mind”.
Vipāka is the fruition of Kamma
