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.
