Thanks for starting up this thread. Its something I have just began to think about myself



It is said that Kamma is intention. The Buddha then says that intention arises at contact


"'Kamma should be known. The cause by which kamma comes into play should be known. The diversity in kamma should be known. The result of kamma should be known. The cessation of kamma should be known. The path of practice for the cessation of kamma should be known.' Thus it has been said. In reference to what was it said?

"Intention, I tell you, is kamma. Intending, one does kamma by way of body, speech, & intellect.

"And what is the cause by which kamma comes into play? Contact is the cause by which kamma comes into play.

So I would say that when there is ignorance then there is ignorant contact. This then leads to intention in line with the birth of ego


There is a sutta (i think) where the Buddha does say this. Will have a dig around for it
