Akriyavada

Akriyavada is the doctrine, considered heretical by Buddhists, that moral acts do not have any consequences. ^[1] This belief was taught by many of the Buddha's contemporaries, but since it contradicts belief in karma it was denounced by the Buddha.^{[ citation needed ]} His own teachings are considered kiriyavada. Akriya means – inactive, without action of any kind. ^[2]
