PunyaIn the Hindu theory of Karma, Punya is merit that accumulates as a result of good deeds, acts or thoughts and that carries over to later in life or to a person's next birth. Punya is an important element of the Mahayana ("Greater Vehicle") branch of Buddhism, but not as much of the earlier Hinayana ("Lesser Vehicle") branch.
