Sampatti : Condition for sufficiency, Prosperity Vipatti : Condition for deficiency, Misfortune ********************************************************* If conditions are sufficient and at hand, it is called Sampatti. When conditions are deficient, it is called Vipatti. Throughout Samsara, in the course of numerous existences, every sentient being has done many deeds, Kamma, accumulating countless mental impulsions, Javana cittas, which must produce effects in the future. They do not die out and perish without giving results, but wait till suitable conditions arise for their working out in some future life time. There are four conditions of sufficiency, sampatti, as well as four conditions of deficiency, vipatti, for all beings in Samsara. In Sampatti conditions Kusala Kamma has the opportunity to produce good results whereas in Vipatti conditions Akusala Kamma plays a leading rold to produce bad effects.
