body as container [world]
- Body 身 (kāya) and the container world (bhājana-loka, "natural world") 器. Body 身 is short for pañca-vijñāna-kāya 五識身 [the body with the five sensory consciousnesses], or ṣaḍ-vijñāna-kāya 六識身 [body with six sensory consciousnesses]) and 器世 bhājana-loka, the basic condition, brought about by maturing karma (vipāka-karma 異熟業; ākṣepa-karma 酬牽引業/牽引業), i.e., the body sensing with its six senses and the world one experiences as ready at hand, useful for one's intent; a world to "grasp and appropriate." This appropriative interaction between a sensory body and a world to utilize is called pariṇāma 變 "(experiential) alterations." All sentient beings, except buddhas, are engaged in this karma. 〔成唯識論 T 1585.31.16a22 see also T 1585.31.11a17. 〕 [resp. Dan Lusthaus]
- The body as a utensil, i. e. containing all the twelve parts, skin. flesh, blood, hair, etc. [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura]
