Pūraṇa-Kāśyapa (P. Pūraṇa-Kassapa; T. 'od srung rdzogs byed; C. Fulanna Jiashe; J. Furannakashō; K. Puranna Kasŏp 富蘭那迦葉). One of a group of six heterodox teachers often mentioned in Buddhist sūtras and criticized by the Buddha.[1]
Pūraṇa-Kāśyapa is said to have propounded the view of akiriyavāda, literally “nonaction,” a kind of antinomianism that denied the law of moral cause and effect (karma).[1]
