I'm not trusting AI, but got these:
"samskara" refers to the mental and emotional imprints or impressions that accumulate over the course of an individual's life due to their actions, thoughts, and experiences. These imprints shape a person's personality, tendencies, and future actions.
"vritti" refers to the mental modifications or thought waves that arise in the mind as a result of sensory perceptions, thoughts, emotions, and experiences. These vrittis are seen as the waves that disturb the stillness of the mind and prevent individuals from realizing their true nature as pure consciousness (Atman) beyond all mental activity.

I am interested in the differences in Samskara in the Buddhist and Hindu perspectives.

Referring to the thread title - By knowing a lump of clay all things made of clay are known

from wiki
Quote:
Samskara, or Sankhara, is a significant concept across major schools of Hindu philosophy as well as Buddhism and Jainism.[10] The schools of Indian philosophy differ on the specific mechanisms about how samskara operates at the subconscious level. For example, Buddhism considers samskara as "causal continua" while being consistent with its "there is no self, no soul" premise, whereas the Vedic traditions within Hinduism consider samskara as "relational properties" (an impression, mark, impulse, tendency or a form of psychological potential energy within) that rests inside the "self, soul" of every person.[10] In Yoga, Vedanta and Nyaya schools of Hinduism, samskara constitute an affective and motivational field that contributes to the value structure within the person. They subconsciously or consciously endorse the basic inner drives that propel a human being in future action, future premises, future thoughts or future judgments.
Perhaps Anatta's alternative relates to the rites of passage in Hinduism.
Quote:
Das states that the Samskara rites of passage is a subset of actions in a human being's life, where going through the rite within the traditions of Hinduism, affects the individual internally as well as externally in how society perceives the person.[12] This occurs in the form of impressions and imprint within, that is samskara.

There is a big bright lump of clay that brightens my day, brightens my day.
That approach would be very uncertain, very uncertain! <- that is a cruel portrayal of Kufayev. He's pretty boss.

It's certainly true that you can get into an invalid dream in the psyche/mind for long years. The mind can be very imprisoning.

Everything can be taken and turned useful, kept in the light of wisdom for you. Parts that are entirely unuseful are forgotten, discarded. This is a grace aspect in ACIM. I believe I've seen it as specifically elsewhere. Of course the aspect of surrender is universal. We have no rights to fruits, or do not decide them, and that is a wonderful thing. It does not mean there are no fruits of action, but to give them up first and always is supreme.
But, we act on our own with attachment/fear and without wisdom. It is a conundrum and it is known. Give it up nevertheless, so it goes.
To add that this is a positive message because the bad stuff is taken as well, not that we don't need to face it. Paradoxical, but said.
