[Q&A] Can another one's kamma be affected by others?

No, not really (either in regard of kamma, action, nor in regard of vipaka, results of ones action, as they are sure to ripe according to ones actions). One could just provide with offering certain circumstances, that ones past or present kamma could ripe or not. Of which one has certain free choice to do or not as well. While some one could give, offer something, it's at least up to the other individual if taking, able to take, see..., or not.

"Beings are heirs of their actions..." disciple of the Buddha would recitate every day, following his teachings.

Doing what ever, if you like to be angry or stubborn, it is just you how is able to change that. No one else could make you happy. Nobody can make decision for someone else.

While suffering or happiness is ultimatly a matter of touch (of either knowing or not-knowing) it's nevertheless importand to develop gratitude toward giver of liberating things, since inclination and nurishing association with good people would increase the chance to be offered the path to the highest liberation, a "a luck" seldom to meet, a Sublime Buddha and rest of his heritage, carried and offered by his good disciples.

Whether this answer might touch you physical, might touch you at proper time, when proper attention is up, that lies within your sphere and is ground to rejoice with your merits if having been able to take, wishing to get touched by such again and again.

And if looking for certain offerings by answeres, it's because of Upanissaya that one tends to associate which the wrong again and again. No one could change their inclination to act.

The giving, helping, is of four kinds:

Giving for certain higher gain. (often actually for lower)
Giving as a duty (Sila) in ones relation. (seldom to meet)
Giving as a means of letting go. (the domain of the Noble Ones)
Giving, helping, out of pure compassion, i.e. Bhagavato, being a real giver, having made the highest ones own.

May all beings give causes to uphold and increase Upanissaya toward the Juwels, to be in strong association which the Noble domain and headed toward liberation!
