Just like “cakkhu dhātu” evolves into “cakkhuviññāṇa dhātu,” “mano dhātu” evolves into “manouviññāṇa dhātu.”
- The first five (cakkhu, sota, ghāna, jivhā, kāya) are active (in addition to mano) in the kama loka and rupa loka.
- None of the first five are present in the arupa loka; it has only the mind (mano.)
Similarly, in arupa loka, the mind is triggered by dhammā and develops into “manouviññāṇa dhātu.”
- Of course, it is also triggered by the five physical senses in kama loka; for example, “Cakkhuviññāṇadhātuyā uppajjitvā niruddhasamanantarā uppajjati cittaṁ mano mānasaṁ hadayaṁ paṇḍaraṁ mano manāyatanaṁ manindriyaṁ viññāṇaṁ viññāṇakkhandho tajjā mano dhātu.”
Yes. “sabba dhammesu” refers to that.
- I will start a new series to discuss that in detail after finalizing a post or two on “kama guna.” Please hold further questions until then.
