Maintaining the physical and mental life of a sentient being, laya is neither different from nor the same as the physical body. As the source of the other seven consciousnesses see eighteen spheres, laya is the root consciousness mla vijna. After ones death, laya may either immediately manifest a rebirth according to karmic forces and conditions or first manifest an ethereal interim body, which can last up to forty nine days, pending the right karmic conditions for rebirth. When one attains Buddhahood, all seeds in ones laya consciousness become pure seeds that will neither change nor manifest any karmic rebirth.
