（sattva-sa^mya， dharma， nika^ya-saba^gha） 'Commonality of sentient beings.' One of the 24 elements not concomitant with mind in Consciousness-only theory. 同分 means 'to resemble.' The fact that all human beings possess common characteristics is called 'human commonality.' The power of human beings to be human beings， and accordingly， to be distinguished from dogs， cats， etc. In the same way the commonality of dogs， cats， etc. is established. This is also true of vegetable and mineral life. The fact that a human being， in the middle of his life， cannot suddenly change into a dog or cat， is due to this power.
