One thing we need to keep in mind is that the Buddha mainly focused on teaching what suffering is (to move away from the “suffering-free state” or the “pabhassara mind”) and how to stop it.
- His description of javana cittas is limited to those with raga, dosa, moha, leading to the arising of more bhava and jati in this world.
- Abhisankhara are sankhara with raga, dosa, moha.
A pure mind (in the absence of raga, dosa, moha) is capable of generating much more powerful results, like iddhi powers.
- However, the Buddha did not elaborate on the mechanism responsible for such powers. However, it should be clear that Abhisankhara cannot yield them.
- Even some anariya yogis had some iddhi powers. Those were generated while they were highest jhana, where the abhisankhara generation was minimal.
