  • 'Acquisition,' 'possession.' A term describing the reception of defilements and karma by the continuing body of sentient beings (Skt. prāpti; Tib. rnyed pa, 'thob pa). In Abhidharma theory a real dharma, one of the fourteen factors not associated with mind. Considered in Yogâcāra to be nominal, one of the twenty-four factors not associated with mind 不相應行. It is said to be related to the ālaya-vijñāna as well as the manifestation of the two hindrances 二障. The condition of receiving defilements despite the fact that they are not actually arisen, but because of their existence in the ālaya-vijñāna 阿賴耶識. Included within this is the acquisition of habits. This dharma is derived from mind and form, and does not have its own distinctive seeds; it is cognized by the sixth consciousness 第六識. [Charles Muller; source(s): JEBD]
  • Frances Cook: "A force possessed by human beings that allows the residue that remains from karmic deeds to adhere to a stream of consciousness even though there is no self or being that could possess the residue." 1 [Charles Muller]
