KAMMA-VIPAKA (กรรมวิบาก)

A Fundamental Understanding of Cause and Effect is Essential to the Successful Navigation in all Aspects of this Existence in which We Occupy Human Form.

We Will All Be Exposed to a Plethora of Adversity in Life, Our Response is what Will Condition and Determine the Course of Our Paths.

Kamna (Karma) are Volitional Actions that We make as We Interact with the World ThroughThought, Speech and Deed.

These Actions May be Characterized as "Kusala" which means "Good Kamma" Generated Through Wise or Skillful Actions which are Devoid of "Lobha", "Dosa" and "Moha" (Greed, Aversion and Delusion Respectively).

"Akusala" can be Translated as"Bad  Kamma" which We Generate Through Actions of a Unwise and Unskillful Nature, Rooted in the Ignorance of the Three "Kilesas" or Defilements Delineated Above.The Kammas are Analogous to Seeds which We Plant.

"Vipaka" are the Results of Our Voluntary Actions be they Kusala or Akusala. The Seeds We Sew in Our Lives will Grow According to Causes and Conditions as well as Their Nature  The Vipalas are the Flora Grown from the Seeds that We have Planted by Our Prior Actions be They Nutritious or Poisonous.

Conscious Effort of Noble Conduct by Carefully and Consistently Observing Our Thoughts, Our speech, and Our Actions with "Sati" or Present-Moment Mindful Awareness.  
Panna is the Wisdom to Modify these Behaviors Preemptively so that We May Lay the Foundation for a Future Less Plagued by "Dukkha", or Discontent 🙏
