storehouse consciousness
蔵識 (Jpn zo-shiki )

Another name for the alaya-consciousness, the eighth and deepest of the eight consciousnesses. It is so called because the results of one's actions, good or evil, are stored there as a potential force, or [[karmic [seeds]]. These seeds are said to sprout in the future; in other words, stored karma eventually manifests as happiness or suffering.

See also; alaya-consciousness.
