  • puñña kamma is a meritorious/good action that CAN lead to rebirth in the higher realms. See “Rebirths Take Place According to Abhisaṅkhāra
  • Engaging in kusala kamma leads to Nibbāna
  • The difference is understanding the fruitlessness/dangers of remaining in the rebirth process, i.e., getting rid of sakkaya ditthi.
  • In the same way, there is a difference between mundane metta, karuna, muduta, upekkha (bhavana), and the Noble versions of them after getting rid of sakkaya ditthi.

See “Kilesa – Relationship to Akusala, Kusala, and Puñña Kamma.”
