[Bishadi]

There has been a dispute about whether eternal damnation is scripturally sound doctrine for some time

Honest and quite fair.

Anyhoot, my main point is that in Buddhism there seems to be this lack of punishment or reward for conduct.

Because the only reward is self evident to reality.

Buddhism is mostly concerned with what is behind any conduct rather than the conduct itself and has no ultimate punishment or reward that I am familiar with from my Judeo-Christian culture.

Intent. The intent is the issue.

If ‘good’……. The imposition or choice to cause; Supports life.

Bad: loss to the common.

If you know them, what are the unforgivable acts?

In a sense all ‘acts’ are unforgivable. Meaning each imposition to existence whether of good or bad…. Still exists.

Good ones, just ‘live’ longer as causing a loss to the common (ill regard) based on selfish intent, not only fails in longevity but then to be spoken of after death in an adverse context is like a hell in itself.

When I kill a mom's son, and dies after another person kills me for killing the a mother's son, what happens after I die.

No more period of choice; physical death. As immediate yet permanent in contrast to sleeping. Nothing afterwards as far as the consciousness (you) having choice ever again. Death does not take the individuals memories with them, Alzheimer’s proves that. (individual memories affixed to the body)

Like, what are some possible outcomes???

You are remembered as a murderer and easily forgotten; extinct.

What you impose to existence by choice is your ever-lasting life…….if it is ‘good’ and supports life to continue…. You live in them contributions that build….

If what is done is ‘bad’ then you (your energy upon existence) will eventually fade to extinction; forgotten.

So if you have a family member pass (leave the building) and you Love them, then go plant a tree, teach a child something that person taught you (that is good) or even contribute time and energy for the benefit of others, all in their (passing Loved one) memory….. Now you give them life even after death as what Love they gave to you, now you ‘tap the pond’ all based on that compassion; so that energy continues in time.

The method of describing these truths is by observing reality. Each and every contributor of wisdom has pointed to these realities but often the descriptions get in the way creating misunderstandings.

A short summary would be; we exist within what we do!

Punishment suggests a decision. A law merely operates.

Netti-Netti:

"Depends on the type of Buddhism. In the Theravada-Tibetan tradition, there are unforgivable acts that result in damnation. That's because there is no way to purify oneself of such acts."

Manji2012:

I probably overstated the case. Some acts are well-neigh unforgivable and result in very long stretches in a Buddhist hell, some of which are really grim.

As I have suggested already, your original question assumed the notion of eternal damnation in Christianity. This basic premise is debatable.
