| | Alaya Vijnana |
 | | This is the uppermost or superficial aspect or layer of the Vijnana skandha. | | | In the Yogacara (Vijnanavada) School of Buddhism, alaya Vijnana is one of the most important doctrines developed by Asanga (fourth century C.E.). | | | It should be remembered as a concrete example, that Sati, one of the Buddha's disciples, took vinnan (vijnana) in this sense and that the Buddha reprimanded him for this wrong view. |

| | The Buddhist Mind |
| | The practice of Buddhism is to be free of the limiting perception of the vijnanas and to realize one's own Buddha nature. | | | According to the Buddhist model everything except the buddhata is a vijnana and therefore wrongly perceives a separation between object and subject. | | | The 'witness', that part which is evident in meditation, is that part of the psyche which is beyond the vijnanas and about which we can gain no knowledge of via the vijnanas. |

| | None Self |
| | The Buddhist model points to the Buddhata, the Buddha nature that lies beyond the constructs of the memes and vijnanas. | | | The Buddhist model is concerned with the observer; to draw the attention of the individual away form the delusion of the vijnanas and to root them in the subjective experience of the observer, the Buddhata. | | | Essentially the vijnana's falsehood is due to avidya: incorrect perception. |

| | E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum -> Intentionality And Alayavijnana |
| | Vijnana is usually translated as consciousness, and it has seven subdivisions in the pre-Yogacara Abhidharma. | | | Since this ignorance is anadi, as beginningless as the alaya-vijnana, this allows of drowing parallels to the Husserl's understanding of the Transcendental Ego as immortal, doubled with the Schelerian comprehension of the metaphysical Drang as the equally beginningless blind force of Ignorance. | | | The real difference between the seven and the 8th vijnana runs along the subject-object relationship, which can be denoted as intentionality. |

| | Vijnana |
| | Vijnana: the principle of pure intelligence; secular knowledge; knowledge of the self. | | | Eight or eightfold faculties; used in mystical Mahayana Buddhist works to signify what in Hindu philosophy is called the jnanendriyas (organs of consciousness or of conscious existence in imbodied life). | | | Nidana is also a title of Brahma, considered as the first cause, being the kosmic living aggregate of vital bonds forming the universe into an organic whole; reproduced through its own internal energies from the preceding manvantara. |

| | Originated between 400 and 800 C.E., at the time of the first textual fixation of this movement, this text is unique among the tantric literature because of its concentration on meditative practice and spiritual experience. | | | The text describes the goal of all these means as attainment of “pure consciousness&; or, as the title says, the “[mystical] knowledge of Bhairava” (vijnana bhairava). | | | Two of the main Agamas of this spiritual tradition which contain the revelation by Shiva are available in English: Paratrishika and Vijnana Bhairava Tantra. |

| | This is what will happen to you when you practise this Yoga of the communion of the Vijnana with the Mahat and the absorption of the Mahat into the Shanta-Atma. | | | This happens when the Vijnana purusha, the individual centre, communes itself with the Mahat. | | | The Upanishad gives us this wonderful message, the glorious message of eternity to all mankind, enough to fill us all with unbounded joy for all times to come. |

| | Now, in Buddhist commentarial exegesis of the scriptures, there was a problem with the vijnana that is third in Dependent Origination, and was said to have a `vision' of the birthplace and so to be attracted thereto. | | | Accordingly, he insists that the pratisamdhi (or `linking', the `rebirth') kind of vijnana is that initial alayavijnana that descends into the male-female element union in the womb.(40) In the course of his investigation he was led to disagree with various Japanese scholars who understood these matters differently from him. | | | So Buddhism taught that there is a `perception' (vijnana) based on the eye, and so with the other senses as bases (ayatana). |

| | Berith.org -- Essays -- Zen: A Trinitarian Critique |
| | For this reason, Buddhist philosophy is known among scholars as pantheistic. | | | One statement which is very common is: "I am not I, therefore I am." This is the thread of thought running through the Buddhist Sutras known as the "Prajna-paramita," consisting of six hundred "volumes" in Chinese translation. | | | Practically, it means the unfolding of a new world hitherto unperceived in the confusion of a dualistically-trained mind." [8] Because of its central epistemological concern, Zen is best probably understood through its theory of knowledge. |

| | For instance, Vijnana Bhikshu in his Yoga-Varttika (3.3) refers to the following, as yet untraced verse of the Garuda-Purana: "Of that [yogin], meditation upon the Ultimate (brahman) is said to be twelve concentrations." As Vijnana Bhikshu explains, concentration consists of twelve controlled breaths (pranayama), and twelve such concentrations constitute dhyana. | | | Anything can be made an object of meditation, including phenomena that are not usually deemed desirable, such as wrathful deities, or negative states of mind, like anger or jealousy. | | | This definition shows the integral connectedness of breath control and meditation, a link that is greatly emphasized in the literature of hatha-yoga. |

| | CHAPTER II |
| | In early Buddhism, consciousness (vijnana) is analyzed into six categories: five sense-perceptions (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touch) and mental-perception (mano-vijnana). | | | The clue to an answer to this question is found in Vasubandhu's doctrine of consciousness. | | | These perceptions arise when the two conditions, sense-faculties (indriya) and their respective sense-objects, are present. |

| | In this new birth, the tulku possesses a continuity of personal identity rooted in the fact that the consciousness or shes-pa (which equates to a type of skandha called vijnana) has not dissolved after death, but has sufficient durability to survive in repeated births. | | | The compatiblility of these concepts with Buddhist orthodoxy remains in dispute. | | | In the case of tulkus, however, they supposedly achieve a "crystallization" of skandhas in such a manner that the skandhas do not "disentangle" upon the tulku's death; rather, a voluntary reincarnation occurs. |
