-
(2) that everything is uncaused;

(1) is the teaching of Niggantha-N膩thaputta, the leader of the Nigganthas, the modern Jains. The fault with this doctrine is that it does not account for that happiness and woe which either are the result of the present life's good or bad action, or are associated with the corresponding action.
-
(2) is the doctrine of Makkhali Gos膩la; s. ditthi.
According to the above 3 doctrines, man is not responsible for his actions, so that all moral exertions become useless.
