The first paragraph of the Lonaphala Sutta , translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu, states:
> "Monks, for anyone who says, 'In whatever way a person makes kamma,
> that is how it is experienced,' there is no living of the holy life,
> there is no opportunity for the right ending of stress. But for anyone
> who says, 'When a person makes kamma to be felt in such & such a way,
> that is how its result is experienced,' there is the living of the
> holy life, there is the opportunity for the right ending of stress.
I feel that this is not the best possible translation for this paragraph of the sutta.
Please explain what it really means.
