Yes I did, thanks, Mike....but does that mean I'm not allowed to mention any other sutta ?mikenz66 wrote:

A question about one of the 5 percepts

I guess it's possible to have a reading of the suttas that minimises the role of kamma. Obviously kamma is not the only cause of things, but I don't think it's something that should be minimised.
I found one of the suttas that is perhaps more relevant, because it deals with Pelindivacca, an Arahant and his past kamma has an effect on him:

I can't yet find a specific reference in the suttas to deaths of Arahants such as Maha Moggalana, only a summary of the Commentary: http://www.what-buddha-said.net/library ... ana_th.htmThen the Gracious One, after applying his mind to venerable Pilindivaccha’s previous lives, addressed the monks, saying: “You should not be offended, monks, at the monk Vaccha, it is not with hatred on the inside, monks, that Vaccha accosts the monks with words of contempt. For the monk Vaccha, monks, for five hundred lives has been reborn in a brāhmaṇa family without interruption, for a long time he has been one who has accosted others with words of contempt, because of this Vaccha accosted the monks with words of contempt.”

Does it not lead to a big ego If I hit someone or is it depending on whom I hit?
