six human faculties Explanation: Happy New Year!:) I don't know how about the other parts of the text, but in the example given, I think we should think about 見聞覚知 in combination with 主体. I therefore suggest "the self that experiences(senses) and knows (sees/gains insight into) the reality", having in mind that 覚知 is somewhat akin to Zen Buddhist "satori". This self should be distinguished from the one that is focused on breathing during meditation, as the end of the example suggests. Also, I agree with the author of the text on distinguishing perception from cognition since cognition is not a sense. Hence, if we translate 見聞覚知 independently from 主体 , I guess "six human faculties" (sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste; and congnition) may do the job. I hope these suggestions will help. Cheers:) |

awareness Explanation: I think "awareness" is frequently used in this context and might fit. |
