AbstractThis paper examines the use of kusala in the commentarial sources and
finds that, although the commentators are aware of various senses of the
word kusala, they tend to give primacy to meanings such as "good" or
"meritorious". A detailed examination of the canonical Pali sources gives
a rather different picture. Sometimes kusala is found in association with
the idea of kamma or related notions, but very commonly too it belongs
in a distinctly meditational context and points towards the states of the
Buddhist path produced by wisdom.
