What Lord Buddha said about "practicing"? When we practise some thing, we will get a new skill or improve a current skill. Similar effect happens when we do karma. There is also a result. Is practise another form of karma ?

Is life all about practises ? Will most  of our future depends on our current practises ? Is KARMA = PRACTISE ?

I asked a similar question here: Is understanding a practise ?. But didn't manage to ask as I want.
Is life all about practises ? 


Generalizations are dangerous, but i'd still say that buddhism deals primarily with reducing defilements/refraining from behaviors that are not beneficial. At the same time, the noble eightfold path also encompasses attaining new habits.

A summary would go something like this:


Guard (the risk of unbeneficial habits, not yet established)
Abandon (unbeneficial habits already established)
Develop (beneficial habits, not yet established)
Maintain (beneficial habits, already established)

  Will most of our future depends on our current practises ? 


For a layperson, all actions bear consequences for the future.

"I am the owner of my kamma, the heir of my kamma; I have kamma as my origin, kamma as my relative, kamma as my resort; I will be the heir of whatever kamma, good or bad, that I do"
