Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

In Buddhism, what does the term 'karma' most accurately mean?

  1. Intentional action and its moral consequences
  2. The cycle of death and rebirth
  3. The final state of liberation from suffering
  4. The Buddhist concept of the soul
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Intentional action and its moral consequences
Karma literally means 'intentional action' and refers to how deliberate actions create moral consequences that affect future lives. Option A describes samsara, not karma. Option C describes nirvana. Option D is misleading because Buddhism teaches there is no permanent soul (anatta).
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A Buddhist monk explains that negative karma arises primarily from actions rooted in which of the following?

  1. The Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha
  2. The Three Poisons: greed, hatred, and delusion
  3. The Four Noble Truths of Buddhist teaching
  4. The Five Precepts of ethical conduct
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — The Three Poisons: greed, hatred, and delusion
Negative karma is generated by actions rooted in the Three Poisons (also called the Three Fires): lobha (greed/craving), dosa (hatred/aversion), and moha (delusion/ignorance). These are the root causes of unskillful action. The Three Jewels and Five Precepts are positive guides to practice, and the Four Noble Truths diagnose and treat suffering rather than cause it.
