nghiệp thức

activity consciousness

• In the sense that through the agency of ignorance an unenlightened mind begins to be disturbed or awakened. Because of the ignorance that does not perceive that the suchness of all dharmas is originally equal and of a single taste, there is the rising of this unenlightened, mistakenly conceptualizing consciousness. This term from the Awakening of Mahāyāna Faith is roughly equivalent in meaning to the Yogâcāra concept of "forthcoming consciousness" 轉識. 〔起信論 T 1666.32.577b7〕 [resp. Charles Muller]
