Kamma vipaka & conditionality in 5 sense cognition

[Citta]

Eye consciousness is vipāka result of kamma.

Also elsewhere in CMA it says:

For a cognitive process to occur, all the essential conditions must be present. According to the Commentaries, the essential conditions for each type of process are as follows:
(i) For an eye-door process:
(a) eye-sensitivity (cakkhuppasāda);
(b) visible object (rūpārammaṇa);
(c) light (āloka);
(d) attention (manasikāra).
pg 151IV. COMPENDIUM OF THE COGNITIVE PROCESS guide to 4

Question, how exactly does kamma vipāka interact with the above conditionality? What exact role does it play?

Thank you.

Kamma done in the past is a given for the vipaka-citta (in this case cakkhu-vinnana) to arise. And here venerable Bodhi is listing some of the conditions that are needed to support/condition cakkhu -vinnana.
So the object is visible object (rūpārammaṇa) and if this is an ugly sight it is the result of an unwholesome kamma done in the past and the opposite for a desirable sight.

Dear Citta
here is a quote from the Visuddhimagga which gives conditions from the Patthana.

"firstly the eye element is a condition in six ways –
namely, dissociation, prenascence, presence, non-disapearance,
support, and faculty for the eye-consciouness (cakkhu vinnana)
element. The visible object is a condition in four ways , namely,
prenascent, presence, non-disapearance, and object for the eye-
consciousness element…."visuddhimagga xv40

Question, how exactly does kamma vipāka interact with the above conditionality?

To follow up on the question:

• Is the influence of kamma vipāka limited only to how the being will react to contact — with pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral feelings?

-Or does kamma vipāka also influence the factors that will bring about that contact?

-Can kamma vipāka promote the occurrence of certain experiences by shaping the behavior of the recipient?

-Can it promote the occurrence of experiences by influencing the behavior of those around the recipient?

-Can it promote experiences by modifying the course of natural phenomena?

Or are the mechanisms by which kamma vipāka manifests never explained in any text? Is this a question that should be put aside!?

The questions are good, and by and large can be answered.
would you like to ask them on this thread or keep them here?

Kamma and Result by Nina van Gorkom

If kamma is individual then why is it that one suffers the effects of another? Like how the bad name of one’s father’s actions makes one’s life harder in life. Like how because of the profession of one’s father others see one in a different light. Isn’t in this case one’s father’s actions are affecting his son and not just him as an individual? It would be very beneficial if one could clarify this thoroughly.

I’ll pass my questions there. But maybe the questions are related with the specific doubt of the OP.
