vāsanā

(Sanskrit). Habitual tendencies or dispositions, a term, often used synonymously with bīja ('seed'). It is found in Pāli and early Sanskrit sources but comes to prominence with the Yogācāra, for whom it denotes the latent energy resulting from actions which are thought to become 'imprinted' in the subject's storehouse-consciousness (ālaya-vijñāna). The accumulation of these habitual tendencies is believed to predispose one to particular patterns of behaviour in the future.
