three activities

The three karmas, or three modes of activities of word 口業, thought 意業, and deed 身業. Also written 身語心. (Skt. trīni-karmāṇi, trividha-dvāra) [resp. cmuller; source(s): JEBD, Yokoi]
Three moral qualities of activity 三性, of wholesome 善業 (kuśala-karma), unwholesome 不善業 (akuśala-karma), and indeterminate (or "neutral") 無記業. [resp. cmuller]
The three karmas of virtuous 福業, criminal 罪業, and non-resultant 不動業. The third is not merely "neutral," but is a more refined function of karma, since both the good and bad forms occur within the desire realm, while "inactive karma" is a result that is related to existence in the two upper realms of form and formlessness. 〔仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 T 1709.33.454c18-22〕 [resp. cmuller]
(Skt. karma-traya, kāya-vāk-citta, kāya-vāṅ-manas, tri-karman, tridhākarma, trividhaṃkarma; Tib. las gsum) [resp. cmuller; source(s): Hirakawa, YBh-Ind]
