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 is counter to the 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]
