No. Reincarnation leads to a paradox: How would the last life before the universe’s end’s deeds and sins be karma’ed?

It actually only works in a religion with a proper afterlife. Not one in which everyone is saved regardless and go to heaven no matter what. One in which punishment is one-to-one to the sins in this life, like Islam.

Why “no”? I was literally describing the framework in which the spiritual idea of karma is commonly found: religion with the belief of cyclical rebirth.

What you go on to describe does not match up to “karma” as found- using that term- in religions.

Sorry, I was referring to the specific idea of one facing the rewards and consequences of good and bad deeds as karma.
