What are Actions 业 and Paths of Action 业道?

  • Among these ten, intentions are actions (Skt. karma), yet they are not paths of action (Skt. karma-patha). The seven nonvirtuous actions of body and speech are not only actions but are also paths of action because body and speech are the bases of the intended operation. The three mental nonvirtues—covetousness and so on— are paths of action but are not actions.
  • 【此等之中,思唯是业而非业道,身语所有七支是业亦是业道,思行处故。贪欲等三业道非业。】

Excerpts from: Tsongkha-pa. “The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, Volume One: The Lamrim Chenmo. Pg227LL15-LL10
