 The crucial difference between the two views is that the Buddhist view excuses the act, categorizing it as non-intentional, since he was not aware that the food was poisoned; whereas the Jain view holds the monk to have been responsible, due to his ignorance and carelessness.Jains argue that the monk's very ignorance and carelessness constitute an intent to do violence and hence entail his guilt.So the absence of intent does not absolve a person from the karmic "consequences" of guilt either, according to the Jain analysis.
