Perfuming Like Fragrance on Cloth

The moment an action is performed, it vanishes — but it "perfumes" your ālaya-vijñāna, like fragrance permeating cloth. Invisible but real. Every deed, word, and thought leaves a functional imprint. Wholesome karma-seeds attract favorable rebirths; unwholesome seeds attract unfavorable ones. Eight characters capture the precise mechanism: "Following the two types of existence-supports, seeds are perfumed into being."
