Consciousness
According to the traditional interpretation, Vasubandhu states that there are eight consciousnesses:
- Five sense-consciousnesses,
- Mind (perception),
- Manas (self-consciousness),
- Storehouse-consciousness.
According to Kalupahana, this classification of eight consciousnesses is based on a misunderstanding of Vasubandhu's Triṃśikaikā-kārikā by later adherents.
