Throughout the ages, the vast majority of those capable of learning Buddhism and engaging in spiritual practice have possessed only a vague understanding of the mind faculty (manas), perceiving it as profoundly mysterious and difficult to comprehend or verify. They have often mistaken the functions of the mind faculty for those of the conscious mind (vijnana), leading to numerous misunderstandings and unresolved questions that hinder deeper cultivation. This book comprehensively reveals the various intrinsic natures and functional roles of the mind faculty. It elucidates with absolute clarity and without ambiguity the relationships between the mind faculty and the physical body, karmic seeds, ignorance, meditative absorption, spiritual powers, the Tathagatagarbha (Buddha-nature), and other elements. Furthermore, it skillfully guides practitioners to locate the mind faculty, to engage in contemplative practice focused on it, and to adeptly discern the differences between the mind faculty and the conscious mind, thereby gradually enhancing the wisdom of contemplative practice. This book offers immense assistance to sentient beings in the Dharma-ending Era for their spiritual learning, providing exceptionally clear guidance for practice on the path to Buddhahood.
