for two conscious moments (Na-Da) and is cut off. Then, observing
the nimitta, pa¤cadvàràvajjana (Pa), cakkhu-vi¤¤àõa (Ca),
sampa¤icchana (Sam), santiraõa (Na), voññhapana (Vo), five javanas
(Ja), two tadàlambaõas (Da) and one bhavaïga (Bha) arise in series.
Then the death-consciousness (cuti) occurs when the person
dies. In the second vãthi, cuti follows tadàlambaõa directly
without any intervention of a bhavaïga-citta.
Immediately after the dissolution of the death-consciousness,
the rebirth-consciousness (pañisandhi-citta) arises in
the next life without any break in the stream of consciousness
and without any lapse in time. The next life may appear in a
very far place like a brahma realm, yet there is no lapse in time.
Thus for the stream of consciousness to flow on, there is
no barrier in time and space. The idea of timeless and spaceless
is realized here. Also the idea that the soul wanders around
before it enters the next life is not correct. There is no soul nor
person in Abhidhamma; there are only incessant flows of nàmastream
and råpa-stream in accordance with the Law of
Dependent Origination (Pañiccasamuppàda) which will be
explained in Chapter VIII.
