and hello, anyone interested.
The part I bolded above in that quote is new to me and contradicts what I seem to remember from a sutta (which I can't find now), that stated, according to my memory, that there is no way to avoid experiencing the vipaka of any action.
Googling for it, I found this in the Wikipedia article "Karma in Buddhism":
Probably meant to refer to the same sutta that I remember. But the reference to AN5.292 seems to be wrong.Wikipedia: Karma in Buddhism wrote: In AN 5.292, the Buddha asserted that it is not possible to avoid experiencing the result of a karmic deed once it has been committed.
IIRC, it also specifically stated, or at least circumscribed it in a way that it could be clearly concluded, that the result of any action has to be experienced before attaining parinibbana.
Does anyone know which sutta I am talking about?
And are there any known canonical sources for the quoted statement by Ven. Bkh?
Thanks.
