Sty in The Eye
Her father does not believe in hell and heaven but he donates for the Kathina merit and robe offerings at various temples. He still drinks alcohol and smokes cigarettes.

DMC has the answers.

What is a definition of karma?
As a mother, I have taken great care in teaching my children about virtues, but children these days need to have good reasons. So they often would ask me a question in return concerning the standard one would use to measure good and bad? I am unable to answer their question sufficiently, so I ask you, Luangphaw, to help provide a definition to the word karma? How many ways can one acquire karma? What are the determining factors?
