前生習氣

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: previously-arisen karmic impressions

Senses:

  • Karmic impressions that were active before the elimination of the seeds of affliction. It is the character of karmic impressions that they become most apparent after the elimination of the hindrances and the seeds. These exist in contrast to the karmic impressions produced instantaneously after the elimination of the hindrances 無間生習氣. (Tib. sngon skyes pa'i bag chags) 〔二障義 HBJ 1.794b; 瑜伽論 T 1579.30.656b1〕 [Charles Muller; source(s): YBh-Ind]
