Wholesome kamma⏳

Wholesome kamma is an action that is beneficial to the agent, morally commendable, and brings pleasant fruits. It is kamma that ripens into good fortune and happiness, or a “heavenly experience”. The criterion for judging kamma as wholesome is its underlying motives, or “roots”; these are the three wholesome roots. Wholesome kamma may be characterized as being in harmonony in the others, and thus is inline with non-forcing.
