Is it called akusala garuka kamma only if the action is completed? For example, Angulimala once tried to harm The Buddha (but did not succeed), and Nandopananda once tried to harm Moggallana Thera (also did not succeed). Their actions are not considered akusala garuka kamma because they did not succeed?

Thank you. So from what I read in that question's answer, attempting to do something (there is an action) with the wrong intention is what caused karmic consequences? – iyin Aug 29 '21 at 11:28

If that's so, what about the case of Nandopananda? He attempted to harm an Arahant, no? – iyin Aug 29 '21 at 11:32

I'm not familiar with Nandopananda. It sounds like the story of a duel, where Moggallana challenged and defeated Nandopananda, who was blocking their path. – ruben2020 Aug 29 '21 at 12:10

I see, thank you for your answer! In addition, here is the link of the story in case you want to take a look at it https://www.wisdomlib.org/buddhism/book/maha-prajnaparamita-sastra/d/doc225694.html – iyin Aug 29 '21 at 14:32

@ruben2020 This question is not just "related" but is a duplicate, isn't it? – ChrisW Aug 30 '21 at 06:03

@ChrisW Yes, you're right. It looks duplicate. – ruben2020 Aug 30 '21 at 06:32
