 This general concern with the operation of the paths leads, in the next section, to a broader definition of karma—action-and-result—and its associated terminology. Sapaṇ begins with the crucial distinction between actions, which are produced and bring about happiness or pain as their result, and the unconditioned, actionless, Realm of Reality or Dharmadhātu. Since wholesomeness is a quality of an action that is determined by the happiness or pain that the action causes, he says, the causeless Dharmadhātu is neither wholesome nor unwholesome. This consequentialism about wholesomeness or virtue, set against a backdrop of an unchanging, literally “inconsequential” ultimate reality, launches the most extensive, detailed argument of the work: the argument against the ultimate reality of virtue.
