Kamma in dependent co-arising (paṭiccasamuppāda)

"In dependent co-arising [paṭiccasamuppāda]: As we will see, present kamma consists of fabrication [saṅkhāra] and the sub-factors [perception, feeling, intention, contact, attention] coming under the factor of “name” in name and form [nāmarūpa]. Past kamma is the experience of the six senses [SN35:145], which comes after the factors of fabrication and name [SN12:2]."

~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "The Karma of Mindfulness: The Buddha's Teachings on Sati and Kamma"
