• Karma - Feb 4 |
| The Buddha distinguishes karma into two groups, wholesome and unwholesome. What makes karma wholesome or unwholesome? The intention or motivation behind the action. "…once greed, hatred and delusion have vanished, that action is thus abandoned, cut off at the root, made barren like a palm-tree stump, obliterated so that it is no more subject to arise in the future."
AN 24
Learn more about cultivating the wholesome and diminishing the
unwholesome.
Generate good karma by attending this class. |
