【The Twelve Factors of Dependent-Arising 希求解脱】Potential Existence 十二缘起之“有”

【The Twelve Factors of Dependent-Arising】- potential existence

(10) Potential existence. In the past, compositional activity infused your consciousness with a latent propensity, that, when nurtured by craving and grasping, became empowered to bring forth a subsequent existence. "Existence" is a case of calling a cause [an activated propensity] by the name of its effect [the subsequent rebirth]. 

The next part, it is the "potential existence." What is potential existence? Existence is a type of force, a strong and powerful force. Where does it come from? It came from the consciousness that was mentioned before. What was the consciousness before? What was the consciousness before? It is that through ignorance, you formed compositional activities to have planted this consciousness of the causal period. Do you all still remember it? Ignorance, you have created karma from ignorance. When you created karma, at the time you created a variety of karma, these actions infused the consciousness with an influential force. This is what we call latent propensity, a "karmic" latent propensity, or a habit.

希求解脱 : 十二缘起之“有”

【◎ 有者，谓昔行于识，熏业习气，次由爱取之所润发，引生后有有大势力，是于因上，假立果名。】

那么下面呢，再是“有”。有是什么呢？有就是有一种力量，强有力的力量。这一个是为什么会来的？由于以前的识，以前什么识呀？以前什么识呀？就是前面无明、行所种下的这个因位识，大家还记得吧？无明，由于你无明啊所以造业。当你造业的当下，他那个时候，就在造种种业的时候，在我们的心识当中就熏下一种影响力量，所以我们叫作习气，“业”习气，或者一种习惯。
