As a Hindu in Bali, We also believe in Karmaphala. Karma means action and phala means fruit. So, Karmaphala is something that you will get after you do action wheter it's good or not, it depend on what you do. If you doing good, then you will get the good one. If you doing bad, you will get the bad one. We believe there are three kind of Karmaphala those are Sancita Karmaphala, Prarabda Karmaphala and Kryamana Karmaphala. 
1. Sancita Karmaphala is the "fruit" of your karma that you got because of your past life. So what you are now is all because of your past. That why not all the people born healthy, pretty or handsome, smart, and rich. But whatever we are now, we have to be grateful because Sarasamuscaya said that born as a human being is the best chance to us to cut the reincarnation chain. Even though you born in a really bad condition, you are still lucky.

2. Prarabdha Karmaphala is the "fruit" of your karma that  you will get in your present life. For example: it just like you eat spicy food. You will feel it directly. 
3. Kryamana Karmaphala is the "fruit" of your karma that you will get in your next life. This happen because you don't have enough time to get all of your karma in your present life. For instance, maybe you ever met some people who always lucky in his/her life even though they are really a bad people. They are still gaining their good karmaphala from the past but because they are bad people in their present life, they will get their bad karmaphala soon in their next life. Life is always fair, we just don't know it.
