Thank you cubibobi!

I read Viññāṇa – Consciousness Together With Future Expectations.

#5. With the establishment of this new kamma viññāṇa, there is now an expectation in X’s mind of getting a date to go out with Y and may be getting to marry Y someday.

  • That is a manō viññāṇa that stays hidden in X’s mind. It has the expectation of getting an opportunity to have a close relationship with Y.
  • That idea will remain hidden in X’s mind and can be re-surfaced at appropriate times, especially when seeing Y again or someone mentions Y’s name, for example. This is “viññāṇa paccayā saṅkhāra” in Paṭicca Samuppāda.

So the vinnana paccaya sankhara is the key! I think I got the idea.

Kamma vinnana waits in the vinnana dhatu until it returns to the mind as dhammā.

I was aware of this point, but I didn’t realize that the part quoted in 51239 was referring to this. Now I see that the two are saying the same thing.

I sincerely thank Lal for patiently answering despite my slowness.
