Akriyavada is the doctrine, considered heretical by Buddhists, that moral acts do not have any consequences.[1] This belief was taught by many of the Buddha's contemporaries, but since it contradicts belief in karma it was denounced by the Buddha.[citation needed] His own teachings are considered kiriyavada. Akriya means – inactive, without action of any kind.[2]
