it can't be true or false it's just a philosophical concept

The philosophical explanation of karma can differ slightly between traditions, but the general concept is basically the same. Usually it is understood to be a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. The results or "fruits" of actions are called karma-phala. Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward; karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others.

with this concept, if you are a christian, you can BELIEVE that God will judje at the end of time and you will get paradise or hell or anywhere else between both of those "places"

if you are a hindu, you can BELIEVE that your next reincarnation will be better or worse than the one you live

if you don't BELIEVE in any god, the concept remain the same ( a sum of actions) but nothing can result of your karma for your next life as there will be no next after the death but dust
