SN 12.17 and SN 12.25 contain teachings that appear to say suffering & kamma are not "self-made" ("sayaṅkata"), as follows:
Master Gotama, is suffering made by oneself?
“Kiṃ nu kho, bho gotama, ‘sayaṅkataṃ dukkhan’ti?
“Not so, Kassapa,” said the Buddha.

However, near the end of SN 12.25, there is teaching that appears to say the intentions leading to suffering are instigated "by oneself" (sāmaṃ):...there are ascetics and brahmins who teach the efficacy of deeds. Some of them declare that pleasure and pain are made by oneself.
Santāvuso sāriputta, eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā kammavādā sayaṅkataṃ sukhadukkhaṃ paññapenti.

Can it kindly be explained the reasons for a difference between Sayaṅkata vs Sāmaṃ so impressions of contradictions do not arise?By oneself one instigates the choice that gives rise to bodily, verbal, and mental action, conditioned by which that pleasure and pain arise in oneself.
Sāmaṃ vā taṃ, ānanda, kāyasaṅkhāraṃ abhisaṅkharoti, yaṃpaccayāssa taṃ uppajjati ajjhattaṃ sukhadukkhaṃ.
