Six senses (Buddhist explanation)

Refers to six sensory organs, or cognitive abilities.Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.The eyes are the root of vision, the ears are the root of listening, the nose is the root of smell, the tongue is the root of taste, the body is the root of touch, and the mind is the root of thoughts.

Common vocabulary

【 Six Roots] "Common Words of Chen Yixiao in Buddhism": Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.The eyes are the root of vision, the ears are the root of listening, the nose is the root of smell, the tongue is the root of taste, the body is the root of touch, and the mind is the root of thoughts.Roots means that they can produce them, just like plants and trees have roots, which can produce branches and trunks. The consciousness is born according to the roots. If there are six senses, they can produce the six consciousnesses, and this is the same.Among them, the root of the eye can produce and what consciousness has its own boundaries and does not mix them up. For example, the eye can only produce eye consciousness, but not ear and nose consciousness, and so on.

The relationship between the six senses and the six consciousnesses and the six dusts:

1. The six consciousnesses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and brain.

2. The six senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.

3. The six dusts of color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and Dharma.

The six consciousnesses activate the six senses and contact the six dusts. The six dusts reflect into the six senses and are judged and preserved by the six senses, and then appear from the memory preservation of the six senses. They activate the six senses to greed for the six dusts, and then return in this way, causing the flow of life and death. The purpose of the purity of the six senses is to cut off and transcend the flow of life and death in this way.

Buddhist dictionary

【 Six senses] "The Great Buddhist Dictionary": Sanskrit s!ad! indriya^n!i。 Another six emotions.It refers to the five sensory organs and the ability to react and motility, which are the six internal parts of the twelve places and the six realms of the eighteen realms.Root means to understand the organ.That is, the eye root (visual organs and visual abilities), ear root (auditory organs and their abilities), nose root (olfactory organs and their abilities), tongue root (taste organs and their abilities), body root (tactile organs and their abilities), and mind root (thinking organs and their abilities).The first five types are also called the five roots.The five roots are the material form laws, namely the form root.There are two differences. Physiological organs are called dust-supporting roots. They are based on the four elements and only play a supporting role in attracting the realm and generating consciousness;Those who actually take the function of engaging in the realm and generate consciousness are called the ultimate root, and the pure color produced by the four elements is the nature.In this regard, the mind root is the mental method that produces psychological effects on the mind, that is, the form root has no color root.According to the Sarvasattva, the six consciousnesses of the previous moment fall into the past, and the mind root causes the uninterrupted relationship between the six consciousnesses of the next moment.Therefore, the function of the six consciousnesses must always be based on the mind root (common basis).However, in addition to the root of the mind, the first five consciousnesses have specific roots to which they rely (partial basis);Consciousness only depends on the root of the mind, and there is no other specific root.Yoga school, etc., talk about the six senses in the consciousness-only meaning, and advocate that the six senses and six realms are all transformed by internal consciousness.The six senses can also be regarded as the whole of our body and mind. As the Lotus Sutra says, read and recite the scriptures, the six senses can be purified.[Volume 1 to Volume 3 of Abhidharmakosha, Volume 1 of Cheng Yogacara Theory, Volume 6 of Shunzheng Theory, Volume 1 of Mahayana Abhidharma Mixed Collection] (See the Five Roots 1137, Six Realms 1298, Six Consciousnesses 1312, Root 4131)

Buddhist dictionary

【 Six Roots] "Ding Fubao Buddhism Dictionary": (name number) The six organs of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. The root means that it can be born. The eye root generates eye consciousness for the color environment, and even the mind root generates consciousness for the Dharma environment, so it is called root.Chapter 4 of the Mahayana meaning says: The six senses are called the eyes when facing the form, and even the sixth is called the mind when facing the Dharma. These six can produce the six consciousnesses, so they are called root.The first five of the six senses are the form laws formed by the four elements, and one of the mind roots is the mind method. The consciousness that Hinayana before was thought of is the mind root, and the Mahayana uses the seventh manas consciousness among the eight consciousnesses as the mind root.
