Samskara

Samskara is [a concept] that all beings have past impressions resulting from previous lives and/or experiences that judges or [guides] one’s present actions, shapes one’s personality, and directs one’s life.
There are three types of Samskaras. Inborn, imposed, and acquired. Inborn are samskaras carried from ones [past life] (lives) and into the present life. Imposed are samskaras that are brought upon through a young age from ones parents and surroundings. Acquired samskaras are created from experiences and actions taken by one through out his/her life.
