Mindfulness Insight Meditation - Buddhist Teachings
207: Rootless Consciousness (Part 1) 'Ahituka Citta'
This talk describes to how past karma patterns present experience—and how mindful attention stops old patterns from creating new ones.
We explore the meaning of rootless consciousness (ahituka) in Buddhist teaching — the states of mind that arise without the “roots” of greed, hatred, or delusion, but also without the wholesome roots of generosity or wisdom. These moments of awareness don’t create new karma; instead, they’re the results of our past actions unfolding in the present. These moments are the ripened results of past actions—brief flashes of awareness that don’t create new karma. Think of them as memories of past deeds showing up in the present, coloring how things feel and happen.
We’ll sketch the simple map: there are 18 rootless states in three groups—unwholesome resultants, wholesome resultants, and a small set of functional states that simply do their job and leave no trace. You’ll also hear why enlightened minds (the Buddha and arahants) experience some of these functional states without creating new karma. Tune in to learn how recognizing these subtle moments can free you from repeating old patterns and support mindful practice.
Notice the moments that only echo the past—so you don’t keep replaying them.
