Consciousness continues to be a complex phenomenon for the modern mind, whether we approach it through science or spirituality. Your Holiness, could you clarify how Buddhism defines consciousness?
HH:
Consciousness is generally divided intotwo: sensory consciousness and mentalconsciousness. The arising of sensoryconsciousness such as eye-consciousnessdepends on certain conditions—for instance,the objective condition or the internal conditionthat is the empowering condition. On the basisof these two, the sense organ also requiresanother factor—that is, the preceding momentof the consciousness itself.Let us talk on the basis of this flower, the eye-consciousness that sees the flower.
