 Since the Buddha redefined kamma as intention in the Nibbedhika Sutta, intention or intentionally committed actions may be better translations of kamma in the last recollection.In this discourse, the Buddha explains that the rationale for contemplating ("paccavekkhato") the first three facts is to weaken or overcome conceit ("mada") in youth, in good health and in being alive; the fourth contemplation is to weaken or overcome lust ("rāga"); and, the fifth contemplation is to weaken or overcome irresponsibility embodied in improper ("duccarita") acts, speech and thoughts.Thus, by contemplating these facts, the Noble Eightfold Path (anchored in right understanding, conduct and effort) is cultivated and spiritual fetters are abandoned.
