"In conventional truth, shouldn't we believe in Kammassakatā Sammādiṭṭhi - the two kinds of kamma, wholesome and unwholesome? If one commits unwholesome acts from killing to drinking, from killing to wrong views - is this wholesome or unwholesome?
Don't the results of unwholesome kamma lead to hell realms, animal realm, hungry ghost realm, and demon realm after death? Is this happiness or suffering? #This_is_due_to_unwholesome_kamma. How frightening is this? Isn't this worth examining?
If one abstains from these unwholesome acts, is this unwholesome or wholesome? Don't the results of wholesome kamma lead to human realm and six heavenly realms? Is this suffering or happiness? #This_is_due_to_wholesome_kamma. Isn't this worth believing in?
Will #someone_who_believes_in_kamma still commit unwholesome acts? No. Would someone who truly believes in kamma still consult fortune tellers, spirit mediums, or occultists? People consult these because they don't believe in kamma. #Without_belief_in_kamma_is_it_easy_to_escape_31_planes_of_existence? No, it's not.
That's why Mogok Sayadaw taught five types of Right View in his recordings:
- Right View of ownership of kamma
- Right View of jhāna
- Right View of insight
- Right View of the Path
- Right View of Fruition
#We_need_to_believe_in_kamma
When someone speaks ill of you, if you haven't studied this teaching, don't you get angry? Yes, #you_get_angry. Is anger wholesome or unwholesome? You're both insulted and angry. #See_how_much_loss_this_brings?
But for someone who believes in kamma and has learned the teachings, would they still get angry? #They_know_the_consequences. Isn't it clear that causes bring results? When you believe this way, doesn't it settle old karmic debts without creating new ones? Think about it. Getting angry is unwholesome kamma. Isn't it frightening? #You_get_angry_and_create_unwholesome_kamma_too. What a loss..."
