puṇya
puṇya (Skt.; Pāli, puñña). Term meaning ‘merit’, meritorious action’, or ‘virtue’. Sometimes also used to refer to the results or potential results of good
karma such as a heavenly
rebirth and a future blissful existence, the enjoyment and duration of which depends of the amount of merit accumulated in a previous life.
Pāli sources mention three factors known as puñña-kiriya-vatthūni (grounds of meritorious action) which produce merit: these are
dāna (generosity), sīla (Skt.,
śīla, good conduct), and
bhāvanā (contemplation). See also
puṇya-jñāna-saṃbhāra;
puṇya-kṣetra.
