It is probably useful also to look at the Abhidhamma III section 9, which speaks about "rebirth consciousness".
At the moment of death a thought-process that conditions the future existence occurs. The object of this thought-process may be (i) a Kamma (action) which one has performed in the course of one’s life. One recollects the deed as if being renewed. Strictly speaking, it is a recurring of the consciousness which one has experienced while performing the action.Or it may be (ii) any symbol (Kammanimitta) which was conspicuous during the performance of the action. It may also be (iii) characteristic symbol of the place in which one is bound to be reborn (gatinimitta). 91 Taking one of these three as the object, the rebirth-consciousness takes place in the future existence. Link to a big pdf: http://www.buddhanet.net/pdf_file/abhidhamma.pdf Page 206. The term "Rebirth consciouness" is also used in the "Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma" Edited by Bhikkhu Bodhi. Page 124. Hope that helps with the topic. Metta. ... |
