'''Vipāka''' ([[Sanskrit]] and [[Pāli]]) is a [[Buddhist]] term for the ripening or maturation of ''[[Karma in Buddhism|karma]]'' (Pāli ''kamma''), or intentional actions. The theory of karmic action and result (''kamma-vipāka'') is a central belief within the Buddhist tradition.<br />

The Samyutta Nikaya states:<br />
{{quote|<br />
According to the seed that’s sown,<br /><br />
So is the fruit you reap therefrom,<br /><br />
Doer of good will gather good,<br /><br />
Doer of evil, evil reaps,<br /><br />
Down is the seed and thou shalt taste the fruit thereof.<br />
