如實直暎(여실진영)은 한자 그대로 풀이하면 "사실과 꼭 같게(있는 그대로) 곧바로 비추어 낸다"
Reflects things exactly as they are—just as they truly are.
Tilakkhana (the three marks of existence) - Anicca, Dukkha, Anatta
연기법(緣起法, Pratītyasamutpāda)은 불교의 가장 근본이 되는 교의로, 모든 존재와 현상이 독립적으로 존재하는 것이 아니라 서로 원인과 조건이 되어 의존하며 발생하고 소멸한다는 진리입니다.
The law of dependent origination (Pratītyasamutpāda) is the most fundamental doctrine in Buddhism; it is the truth that all beings and phenomena do not exist independently, but rather arise and cease in dependence upon one another through various causes and conditions.
Pancakkhandha - the five aggregates or five heaps that together constitute a human being and all human experience.
1. Form (Rupa) - the physical body and material world.
2. Feeling (Vedana) - Sensations that arise through the six sense bases.
3. Perception (Sanna) - the recognition and labeling of experience.
4. Mental formations (Sankhara) -Thoughts, intentions, emotions, and volitions. The dynamic patterns that shape our behavior and generate karma.
5. Consciousness (Vinnana) - Consciousness, discernment, or the cognitive awareness arising when a sense organ meets a sense object (e.g., ear meeting sound to form sota-viññāna or ear-consciousness).
Mind stream -Vinnana sota
Vinnana - Consciousness, discernment, or the life-force that links experiences across moments and lifetimes.
Sota (Stream/Flux): A continuous, dynamic flow. Rather than a static, permanent soul (ātman), Buddhism views consciousness as an ever-changing river.
Karma stream - Kamma sota (more commonly referred to in the Abhidhamma commentaries as bhavaṅga-sota) translates literally to the "stream of kamma" or the "undercurrent of life-continuity." It is the subconscious mental flow or "mind-stream" that carries the energetic imprints of your intentions and past actions from moment to moment, and from one lifetime to the next.
Kamma sota
Kamma (Action/Volition): The intentional energy generated by your thoughts, words, and physical deeds. The Buddha famously stated that cetanā (volition/intention) is the core of kamma.
Karma, the law of cause and effect, continues to operate not because there is a soul carrying actions forward, but intentions and actions shape the stream of experience. The process continues just like a seed continues to grow into a tree even though the seed disappears.
