What's the difference between them? I read somewhere that Hindu karma is conditioned but not for Buddhism. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks
In many forms of Hinduism, there is the notion that karma is enforced by a supreme God or enforcer of justice. In Buddhism, there is no soul, or God which enforces justice or karma. It is purely dependent origination.
For Hindu idea of karma see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_in_Hinduism#Views_of_the_theistic_Hindu_traditions_believing_in_a_supreme_God
I have a philosophy that Karma and Dharma are the two laws of nature.
Kharma is basically balance. If you eat too much, you'll get fat. Because for nature to balance the effects of you eating too much is to make you fat. Likewise, if you push onside of the seesaw down another side will come up.
Dharma on the other hand is cycle and also the purpose of life. The cow eats the grass, the man eat the cow. When they all die, the maggots eat them and nourishes the grass. In our modern context, the cow produces milk to the farmer, the farmer sell to the super market, the super market provide jobs to ppl. And they all pay tax to govt. Then govt help to ensure the well being of the ppl. I believe that the world is made of many of this chains in a cycle and in that is dharma. Which is that every beings ultimate purpose in life is to sustain nature (or dharma).

Karma and Dharma in Buddhism is not the same as what you are talking about.
Karma is intentional action -- mental, speech, bodily actions. These actions will result in reactions either in this life or in the next life, depending on wholesome, unwholesome, neutral karma.
Dharma is the teachings by Buddha that when practised leads to liberation from suffering and samsaric rebirth.
