karmic debt(s), karmic credit(s), karmic obligation(s), karmic retribution(s), residual debt(s)/credit(s)/obligation(s)/retribution(s)(Which English variation makes the most sense depends largely on the context (and whether bu lon ('debt') is also being used), but the term implies that something is owed to someone in a karmic (hence 'residual') sense, usually due to having harmed or taken from them somehow in the past. The more general sense is 'karmic obligation', but 'karmic debt' is probably more colloquial) [Erick Tsiknopoulos]
