20.274

此二問中，前約地前菩薩，後約地上菩薩，心意識義自有通別，別名心意識者，賴耶是心，以能集起三界生死色心法故，末那名意，以與六識為同時根生六識故，六識名識，以對六境分別強故，二通名心意識，謂八識中一一皆有集起名心，能生名意，了別名識故。

Among these two questions, the former refers to bodhisattvas before the stages (bhūmis), and the latter refers to bodhisattvas on the stages. The meanings of mind, thought, and consciousness have both distinct and common aspects. As for their distinct names: the ālayavijñāna is "mind" (citta) because it is capable of gathering and giving rise to the material and mental dharmas of saṃsāra in the three realms; manas is "thought" because it serves as the simultaneous faculty for the six consciousnesses and produces the six consciousnesses; and the six consciousnesses are named "consciousness" (vijñāna) because their discernment with respect to the six sensory objects is strong. Second, they are commonly named mind, thought, and consciousness, meaning that each and every one among the eight consciousnesses has the function of gathering and giving rise, called "mind"; of producing, called "thought"; and of discerning, called "consciousness."
