Kammanirodha Sutta

The Buddha teaches the monks about old kamma, new kamma, the cessation of kamma, and the way leading to the cessation of kamma.

The eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are [the results of] old kamma.

Whatever volitional action is done by body, speech, and thought is new kamma.

When one reaches liberation through the cessation of bodily, verbal, and mental action, that is the cessation of kamma.

Developing and cultivating the Noble Eightfold Path is the way to the cessation of kamma.

The Buddha then urges the monks to find quiet places to meditate. S.iv.132.
