六塵

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: six data-fields

Senses:

  • The five sensory fields and the thought-field. They are the field of form 色塵, field of sound 聲塵, field of odor 香塵, gustatory field 味塵, tactile field 觸塵, and conceptual field 法塵. Mostly synonymous with 六境, except that the usage of the logograph 塵 indicates their defiling character, since, when the six consciousnesses apprehend their objects, the six faculties 六根 become tainted. They are also referred to as the 'external fields'  外塵 and 'six thieves'  六賊 (Skt. ṣaḍ-viṣaya, ṣaṇṇāṃ viṣayāṇām, *ṣaḍ-bāhyâyatana). See also 四塵. [Charles Muller; source(s): Hirakawa, Yokoi]
