    No difference. Good deeds of body, speech and mind create seeds for future developments of good.

    Bad deeds = bad.
    Neutral = neutral.
    Bit of all three = all three.

    Pretty much lol, the yaki-master saves the day once again. Every conscious thought or act will cause karma. So a good deed is a decision and an act of virtuous intention, subsequently it will generate some positive karma.

    Karma are our actions, and merit is the good karma that we have acquired.
