Dhamma Reflection: The Four Types of Kamma in Our Lives

In Buddhist teachings, there are four types of kamma that shape our experiences: Productive kamma (Janaka), Supportive kamma (Upatthambhaka), Obstructive kamma (Upapilaka), and Destructive kamma (Upaghataka).  There was a young girl who came to stay at an education center at the age of 9. She was fortunate to receive good food and quality education from various teachers. Her loving mother supported her education wholeheartedly and constantly encouraged her to continue her studies. However, when she turned 14, her mother passed away.  Her relatives especially her aunt then encouraged her to return to their village, claiming it was for further studies.

Saddanīti – Introduction There are three volumes in Saddanīti 1. padamālā – explains the inflection – conjugation, declension 2.Dhātumālā- explains roots 3.Suttamālā –explains sandhi, nāma. Saddanīti is more complete and more modernize than other grammar books like Kaccāyana, padarūpasidhi.  Some words that are not explained in these books are explained in the Saddanīti. Each books has 2 volumes, one volume has about 400 pages. So, there are more than 2500 pages. This book is written by Aggavaṃsa. In some records like Sāsāna Laṅkāra said that Agga Paṇḍita had written the books. At that time, there were three persons well-known in the knowledge in the Tipiṭaka. 1. Mahā Aggapaṇḍita, 2) Aggapaṇḍita  3) Aggapaṇḍita. The third one was the nephew to the second one and he was the one that had written the book. The Bagan dynasty started with king Anoratha who lived from 1044AD to 1077AD. After 100 years later, at 1154AD (1697 Buddhist era), this book Saddanīti was written...
