The five consciousnesses produced in connection with the five sense organs of eyes， ears， nose， tongue and skin， which take as their objects the five physical categories of form， sound， smell， taste and tactile objects: therefore， the visual consciousness 眼识， auditory consciousness 耳识， olfactory consciousness 鼻识， gustatory consciousness 舌识 and tactile consciousness 身识. Since these are considered to be the first five among the six consciousnesses 六识， they are commonly referred to as the "prior five consciousnesses" in Chinese， 前五识. In the doctrine of the Yoga^ca^ra school， these are the first five among the eight consciousnesses 八识. In terms of the three realms ， those in the desire realm are said to have six consciousnesses; those in the first meditation heaven of the form realm lack the olfactory and gustatory consciousnesses， while those in the second meditation heaven and above maintain only the sixth （discriminating） consciousness. （panca-vijn~a^na）［俱舍论］ {II} The five consciousnesses taught in the Awakening of Faith: （1） The activity （karmic） consciousness 业识， which arises with the unenlightened mind due to original ignorance. （2） The changing （transforming） consciousness 转识， wherein the activity consciousness undergoes a single transformation producing the subjective view. （3） The manifesting consciousness 现识， in which based on transformation of the activity consciousness the objective world is manifested. （4） The knowing consciousness 智识， in which the mind creates mistaken discrimination based on its perception of the objects in the external world. （5） The continuing consciousness 相续识， wherein， based on mistaken discrimination， the thoughts of pain and pleasure continue without abatement， thus enabling the continuity of sam!sa^ra. ［起信论、 T 1666.32.577b］
