trần sa

dust and sand

• Numberless as atoms. Tiantai uses the term as one of the three types of mental disturbances 三惑, i.e. the trial of the bodhisattva in facing the vast amount of detail in knowledge and operation required for his task of saving the world, written as 塵沙惑.To neglect efforts to attain knowledge because what a bodhisattva must learn to save all men is as innumerable as atoms of dust and sand. These are one of the distinctive types of mental disturbances 別惑. 〔摩訶止觀 T 1911.46.5c1〕 [resp. cmuller; source(s): Soothill, JEBD]
