Avijja, anatta and avijja - from a deluded mind

Dependent on ignorance arises kamma formations

Isn't it avijja that is the root cause of kamma? The ignorance, not-knowing, of samsara as impermanent, not-self/non-self, and dukkha, that led to delusion and attachment, is the mega cause of kamma formations?

There has never been a self, not that the realization of not-self destroys the self. IMHO, it's the ignorance of the nature of samsara that create the self-belief, craving/attachment for/to existence and conceit/pride that lead to kamma formations.

Because there is ignorance, there is kamma.

When self-belief, craving/attachment for/to existence, and conceit/pride have been uprooted, and when there is vijja (wisdom), avijja is eradicated, there is no more kamma formations.


There has never been a self, and no-self/not-self has always been a characteristic of samsara. Only ignorance prevents us from seeing the truth, both before and after the 10 fetters have been eradicated, both when kamma is being formed and when there is no condition for kamma to be formed.

Anatta is always a fact of samsara, whether there is avijja or not. Kamma is formed when there is avijja. So is there a link between anatta and kamma?
