Mundane and supramundane wholesome kamma⏳

Whereas kamma springing from the three unwholesome roots is bound to the world of Samsara, kamma springing from the three wholesome roots may be of two catagories, the mundane and the supramundane. The mundane wholesome kamma has the potential to produce a fortunate rebirth within Samsara. The supramundane wholesome kamma is kamma that leads to the escape from Samsara and is generated by developing The Nobel Eightfold Path and the other aids to the realization of Nibbana. This is the kamma that dismantles the entire process of kammic causation.
