• One connotation of the meaning of "storage" associated with the ālayavijñāna 阿賴耶識. A reference to the theory that the store consciousness retains all seeds 種子 within itself. This approach sees the store consciousness from the perspective of its causal aspect, given the connotative name "consciousness that stores all seeds" 一切種子識. One of the three connotations of the store (consciousness) 藏三義. 〔成唯識論 T 1585.31.7c21〕 [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura]
