Imo, the quenching of kamma is "doing without a doer" or "non-doing". "Doing" but "not-doing".
Like doing without craving, for example?
Buddhadasa had his own Zen phrase: "All day long I do nothing". This did not literally mean doing nothing. It meant doing as though doing nothing. Doing with
out
attachment. It meant doing without the doer. Something like that. Yes...
Other Zen saying goes like this... Eat your food, wash your dishes...
Soto Zen has a teaching for this called Mushotoku as the non profit acction: Mu = Non; Shotoku = profit.
