Abstract | This article offers a broad survey of the Buddhist interpretations of consciousness as an integral component of the various taxonomies of animate life, and as it evolves and functions in its karmic or mundane, and its purified or supramundane conditions. It discusses the concepts set out in the texts of Abhidharma, and their interpretation by different schools. It shows the complex and intricate discussion among Buddhist thinkers of the nature and different aspects of consciousness, and suggests that they still leave some problems unresolved. |
