'karma-result', is any karmically (morally)
neutral mental phenomenon (e.g. bodily agreeable or painful feeling,
sense-consciousness, etc. ), which is the result of advantageous or disadvantageous
intentional action (karma, q.v.) through body, speech or mind, done either in
this or some previous life.
Totally wrong is the belief that, according to
Buddhism, everything is the result of previous action. Never, for example, is
any karmically advantageous or disadvantageous intentional action the result of former
action, being in reality itself karma.
On this subject s. titthāyatana,
karma, Tab. I; Fund II. Cf. A. III, 101; Kath. 162 (Guide, p. 80).
karma-produced (kammaja or kamma-samutthāna)
corporeal things are never called kamma-vipāka, as this term may be
applied only to mental phenomena.
