Kamma

Today I am lucky to be able to hear the talk on Kamma given by Sayadey at BMBMC. Sayadey admonishes the importance of Buddhists to know what Kamma is as this knowledge will ensure that good Kamma be conducted. Every conscious action has 7 javanas that will conditioned the results of our next existance. For example the first of these javanas will condition our present situation and the 7th javana will condition our next situation. Sayadey mentioned types of Kamma, namely the Garuka Kamma, Asanna Kamma , Acinna Kamma and Katatta Kamma. Sayadey had to shorten the talk due to lack of time and hopefully we can still hear more on Kamma from Sayadey.
Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu.
For further reference, here is a link on Kamma by Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw. http://www.bodhiwiki.org/wiki/Kamma
