一心


(svacitta-ma^tra; eka-agra; eka-citta; dhya^na). The one mind. (1) Mind as the most fundamental basis. The true thusness of all existence. "One" means that the ordinary is one with the absolute. "Mind" means "certainty." Also, the one consciousness that is the basis for all sentient beings. The absolute reality that is the basis for all phenomena in the universe. This concept is central to the Awakening of Faith 起信论, where the one mind is identified with the dharmaka^ya 法身 and dharmadha^tu 法界.[起信论 T 1666.32.576a5] (2) To unify the mind; therefore, "unity of the psyche" or "concentration." The mind concentrated on Amita^bha Buddha 阿弥陀 when praying to him. (3) To concentrate the mind in the empowering sense of "devotedly" or "whole-heartedly", without scattering.
