1. I am glad that I asked you about your understanding of the “purāna kamma” and “nava kamma” stages. I normally respond to comments, thinking that the questioner is familiar with the current posts on the website.
- I first discussed those two stages over two years ago: “Purāna and Nava Kamma – Sequence of Kamma Generation.”
- However, some background material was covered even before that. You can see the progression in “New / Revised Posts.”
2. However, I recently (January 3, 2026) started a new series of posts to get to the same point with a different approach: “Buddha Dhamma.”
- May be you can start with the new section. Of course, you can first read “Purāna and Nava Kamma – Sequence of Kamma Generation” and try to see whether you can grasp it, by also perusing through posts in “New / Revised Posts” from late 2023.
3. Please spend some time along the above lines. Once you have some idea, you can start asking questions by citing any specific post.
- A key aspect is understanding the concept of saññā. See, for example, “Saññā – What It Really Means.”
- Maybe you can read that post first and ask questions about anything unclear.
- Please don’t be intimidated by the sheer number of posts. Once you make a connection (the ‘ahā moment’ can come at any time!) and get started, things will become clearer. The only way to learn is to spend time and ask questions about anything that’s unclear.
