tâm pháp
the Dharma of mind
- The mind, consciousness. The mind itself 心王, as contrasted with the objects of mind 心所有法. This is the first of the five classes 五法 of dharmas enumerated in the Yogâcāra scheme of 100 dharmas 百法. (Skt. citta, vijñāna, *citta-dharma, citta-dharmatā; citta-caitta; Tib. sems kyi chos, Pāli citta, citta-dhamma) [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura, Hirakawa, YBh-Ind]
- Mental functions, mental factors = 心所. 〔二障義 HBJ 1.805c 〕 (Skt. caitasa, caitasika, caitasikaḥ...dharmaḥ; Tib. sems las byung ba'i chos) [resp. Charles Muller]
- All "things" are divided into the two classes of physical 色 and mental 心; that which has 質礙 substance and resistance is physical, that which is devoid of these is mental; or the root of all phenomena is mind 緣起諸法之根本者爲心法. The exoteric and esoteric schools differ in their interpretation: the exoterics hold that mental ideas or "things" are 無色無形 unsubstantial and invisible, the esoterics that they 有色有形 have both substance and form. [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Soothill]
