English version Eleven are wholesome (kusala). Six are afflictions (klesha). The rest are secondary afflictions (upaklesha). Four are indeterminate (aniyata). These four indeterminate dharmas are neither true afflictions nor secondary afflictions, because they are common to wholesome and neutral (avyakrita) states. The nature (svabhava) and function (karman) of contact (sparsha) and the like should be explained. What is contact? Contact is the coming together of the three – sense organ, object, and consciousness – with discernment as its characteristic. The 'three coming together' refers to the union of eye, form, and visual consciousness, and so on. When these come together, mind and mental factors (caitasika dharmas) arise, and this is called contact. Its function is to serve as the basis for feeling (vedana). What is attention (manaskara)? Attention is the capacity to direct the mind, with arousal as its characteristic. It causes the mind and mental factors to be present, alert, and active. Its meaning is recollection, and its function is to maintain and focus the mind. What is intention (cetana)? Intention is the mental activity that directs the mind towards actions related to merit, demerit, or neither, with mental karma (karma) as its characteristic. If this characteristic is present, the function of consciousness (vijnana) to apprehend arises immediately, just as a magnet attracts iron and causes it to move. Its function is to propel wholesome, unwholesome, and neutral states of mind. What is desire (chanda)? Desire is the hope for things that are loved and cherished, with aspiration as its characteristic. 'Things that are loved and cherished' refers to things that are pleasing to see, hear, and so on. Its meaning is wishful thinking and seeking, and its function is to serve as the basis for effort (virya). What is conviction (adhimoksha)? Conviction is the firm acceptance of a determined object, in accordance with what is understood, with approval as its characteristic. 'Determined object' refers to the five aggregates (panca-skandha), as Adityabandhu said: 'Form (rupa) is like a lump of foam, feeling is like a water bubble, perception (samjna) is like a mirage, formations (samskara) are like a banana tree, and consciousness is like an illusion.' Such is the determination, or like the intrinsic nature of all phenomena, that is, the arising of determination as it is. 'Determination' means holding firm, without any other force to divert it. Because conviction is superior, other forces cannot sway it. What is mindfulness (smrti)? Mindfulness is the non-forgetting of familiar things, with clear recollection as its characteristic. 'Familiar things' refers to things that have been practiced before. Its function is to serve as the basis for non-distraction. What is concentration (samadhi)? Concentration is the one-pointedness of mind on the object of observation. 'Object of observation' refers to the five aggregates, and impermanence (anitya), suffering (duhkha), emptiness (sunyata), non-self (anatman), and so on. 'One-pointedness of mind' means focused attention. Its function is to serve as the basis for wisdom (prajna). Because the mind is stable, one knows things as they truly are. What is wisdom (prajna)? Wisdom is... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
