A Kosha (also Kosa; Sanskrit कोश, IAST: ), usually rendered "sheath", is a covering of the Atman, or Self according to Vedantic philosophy. There are five Koshas, and they are often visualised as the layers of an onion. ==Origins== The five sheaths (pancha-kosas) are described in the Taittiriya Upanishad.〔David Frawley, ''Yoga and the Sacred Fire: Self-Realization and Planetary Transformation'', p.288〕 From gross to fine they are: # Annamaya kosha, "foodstuff" sheath (Anna) # Pranamaya kosha, "energy" sheath (Prana/apana) # Manomaya kosha "mind-stuff" sheath (Manas) # Vijnanamaya kosha, "wisdom" sheath (''Vijnana'') # Anandamaya kosha, "bliss" sheath (''Ananda'') According to Vedanta the wise person, being aware of the subtle influences of the five elements within each kosha, ever discerns the Self amidst appearances. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「kosha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
