'''Karmic debt''' (Tib. ''lenchak''; [[Wyl.]] ''lan chags'') — a 'debt' that we incur towards other [[sentient beings]] from receiving anything positive from them, or from abusing them, and that later manifests in our lives through the law of cause and effect, [[karma]]. There are a number of Buddhist practices which can help us repay such debts, most notably the practices of [[Riwo Sangchö]] and [[Chö]].

[[Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche]] writes: 
:''Len'' literally means 'time' or 'occurrence', while ''chak'' refers to 'attachment', 'attraction', or the notion of a karmic pull toward someone, usually in an unhealthy way. So ''lenchak'' could be understood as the residue that revisits us from the dynamic of a relationship from a past life, a dynamic now strengthened by reoccurring habitual responses.<ref>Dzigar Kongtrül, ''Light Comes Through'', page 55.</ref>

[[Dodrupchen Jikmé Tenpé Nyima]] explains that:
:[Karmic debts] include debts that shorten our lives because we have killed; debts that plague us with illness because we have attacked and beaten others; debts that make us poor because we have stolen; debts to overlords and underlings<ref>[[Tulku Thondup]] says: “Literally, debts of pulling down the castles of the high [upper classes] and taking land from the poor.”</ref>; and debts from accidentally killing men and horses.<ref>''A Guide to Sang Practice'', by Dodrupchen Jikmé Tenpé Nyima [http://www.lotsawahouse.org/sang.html available at Lotsawa House]</ref>
