This is what I have heard.  However, as I said at the time, I am unclear 
as to 'complete' karma occasioned through the door of mind.  There is an 
explanation of 'complete' karma of body and speech,  but I do not follow 
explanations I have been given of  'complete' karma of mind.  Also, I am 
unclear about status of 'incomplete' karma. I hear there is some sort of 
'stain' or 'imprint' left on the mindstream by this. Either it ripens or 
it is inert, as far as I can see. I don't know what such an imprint is.
