六十二见

(六十二見, 六十二见)

The sixty-two [lang id =1028]見 or views, of which three groups are given: The [lang id =1028]大品般若經 in the [lang id =1028]佛母品 takes each of the five skandhas under four considerations of [lang id =1028]常 time, considered as time past, whether each of the five has had permanence, impermanence, both, neither, 5 x 4 = 20; again as to their space, or extension, considered as present time, whether each is finite, infinite, both, neither =20; again as to their destination, i. e. future, as to whether each goes on, or does not, both, neither (e. g. continued personality) = 20, or in all 60; add the two ideas whether body and mind [lang id =1028]神 are a unity or different = 62. The Tiantai School takes [lang id =1028]我見, or personality, as its basis and considers each of the five skandhas under four aspects, e. g

(1) (sa) rūpa, the organized body, as the ego;

(2) the ego as apart from the (sa) rūpa;

(3) (sa) rūpa as the greater, the ego the smaller or inferior, and the ego as dwelling in the (sa) rūpa;

(4) the ego as the greater, rupa the inferior, and the rupa in the ego. Consider these twenty in the past, present, and future = 60, and add [lang id =1028]斷 and [lang id =1028]常 impermanence and permanence as fundamentals = 62. There is also a third group.
