From where did you fish out this word btw?
it just popped into my head when i posted this, to explain ending the results of kamma:

And what is the appeasement [cessation] of kamma? From the appeasment of contact is the appeasement of kamma; and just this noble eightfold path — right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration — is the path of practice leading to the appeasement of kamma.

AN 6.63 'cessation' did not fit, such as in: "From the cessation of contact is the cessation of kamma". this would confuse a newbie, who may infer for karma to end, the mind must be unconscious

then the words 'quenching', 'extinquishing', etc sound a bit strange. of course, 'non-arising' is the same as 'cessation', namely, non-sequitur

so the word 'appeasement' just popped up, which has the flavour of cool, collected & wise sense experience

it was just an idea, that is all. i am not asserting it is perfect

but 'non-arising', definitely not what i was looking for

the word 'cessation' is the most serious error of translation in Buddhism. it is the sphere of Hindu rebirth ideas

kind regards
