- The last stage of viññānakkhandha embodies the fact that viññāna has taken into account the past events (atīta) and future expectations (anāgata), as well as the conditions at the current (paccuppanna) moment. It has taken into account the ajjhatta and bahiddda stages (that we recently discussed in detail). It has also taken into account the coarse (olārika) and fine/subtle (sukuma) kamma accumulated, all lower (hīna) and higher (paṇīta) realms it has experienced, whether that mind is far away from Nibbāna (dure) or close to (santike) it. In other words, it represents the current (paccuppanna) status of the mind based on all those factors.
Could you please write a post that explains these eleven categories in more detail? Thank you.
