six coarse marks

• The six coarser stages arising from the three finer stages 三細 which in turn are produced by original nescience 無明, as taught in the Awakening of Faith 起信論. The six are:
  1. The coarse marks of discriminating knowledge 智相; the function of the manifest consciousness that produces mental discrimination. Consciousness of like and dislike arising from mental conditions;
  2. The coarse mark of continuity 相續相; the arising of pleasant and unpleasant sensations as a result of the functioning of the mark of discriminating knowledge. Consciousness of pain and pleasure resulting from the first, causing continuous responsive memory;
  3. The coarse mark of attachment 執取相; The attachment to the sensations of the second mark.
  4. The coarse mark of defining names 計名字相; assigning names to the sensations; assigning names according to the seeming and unreal with fixation of ideas.
  5. The coarse mark of producing karma 起業相; performing good and evil activities based on attachment to the sensations. The consequent activity with all the variety of deeds.
  6. The coarse mark of the suffering produced by karma 業繫苦相; entering the course of transmigration due to the binding karma resulting from these attachments. 〔起信論 T 1666.32.577a〕
