Manas (early Buddhism) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Manas (early Buddhism)
Manas (Pali) is one of three overlapping terms used in the nikayas to refer to the mind, the others being citta and viññāṇa. Each is sometimes used in the generic and non-technical sense of "mind" in general, and the three are sometimes used in sequence to refer to one’s mental processes as a whole.〔Sue Hamilton, ''Identity and Experience.'' LUZAC Oriental, 1996, pages 105-106.〕 Their primary uses are, however, distinct.〔Bodhi, Bhikkhu (trans.) (2000b). ''The Connected Discourses of the Buddha: A Translation of the Samyutta Nikaya''. (Part IV is "The Book of the Six Sense Bases (Salayatanavagga)".) Boston: Wisdom Publications. ISBN 0-86171-331-1., pp. 769-70, ''n''. 154.〕 Manas often indicates the general thinking faculty.〔Sue Hamilton, ''Identity and Experience.'' LUZAC Oriental, 1996, page 107.〕 Thinking is closely associated with volitions, because mental activity is one of the ways that volitions manifest themselves: "Having willed, one acts through body, speech, and thoughts."〔Sue Hamilton, ''Identity and Experience.'' LUZAC Oriental, 1996, page 109.〕 Furthermore, willing is described in terms of deliberate thinking.〔Sue Hamilton, ''Identity and Experience.'' LUZAC Oriental, 1996, page 108.〕 Undeliberate thought is often an expression of latent tendencies (''anusaya''), which are conditioned by the volitional nexus of the past.〔Sue Hamilton, ''Identity and Experience.'' LUZAC Oriental, 1996, page 109.〕 The term is not used in the description of the cognitive process in the early texts, aside from the preliminary role of ''manodhātu.'' The discursive activities of the cognitive process are rather the function of ''saññā'', together with "reasoning" and "making manifold". This suggests that the "thinking" done by ''manas'' is more closely linked to volition than to the discursive processes associated with apperception. Manas is mainly the mental activity which follows from volitions, whether immediately, or separated by time and caused by the activation of a latent tendency.〔Sue Hamilton, ''Identity and Experience.'' LUZAC Oriental, 1996, pages 109-110.〕 == Notes ==
