I get it.
When the Buddha taught, he wasn't teaching people who'd never heard of karma about karma. Everyone in India believed some theory of karma.
He was teaching people who knew about karma about emptiness. He taught an understanding of karma where everything is interdependent, so there is no original cause. Therefore, karma is empty.
