[1700] P. Should it not be said, "All this is due to kamma"?
S. Yes.
P. But was it not said by the Blessed One:
"By kamma the world goes on; by kamma this generation goes on;
beings have kamma as their bond, like the linchpin of a chariot as it rolls along.
By kamma one gains fame and praise;
by kamma, loss, slaying, and bondage;
having understood that kamma as that which makes for diversity,
why should one say, 'There is no kamma in the world'?"
Is there indeed such a discourse (suttanta)?
S. Yes.
P. Well then, all this is due to kamma.
The Discussion "All This Is Due to Kamma" [is concluded].
