The map of the mind

The Inner Landscape

The whole of the mind Thầy describes, in one place — the eight consciousnesses, the seeds, and the fifty-one mental formations with their families and valences, each in plain English. The reference to keep open beside the verses.

The Verses & the Reflections

All fifty verses, in the book's six parts. Pick one on the left and you get Thầy's own words, the illustration where we have made one, and the Reflections written on it — each one an evening we spent on that verse, written out for reading. Open whichever you want. The number beside a verse is how many it has.

Part I · Store Consciousness

Verse 10 · The Five Universals

The ground of the mind, where all our seeds are kept — and how they ripen into the worlds we live in.

Unobstructed and indeterminate,store consciousness is continuously flowing and changing.At the same time, it is endowedwith all five universal mental formations.

We have not written on this verse yet. We are working through the book one session at a time, and this page fills in when we reach it. The Inner Landscape covers the terms in the meantime.

The verses are Thich Nhat Hanh's, from Understanding Our Mind (Parallax Press) — shared freely by Plum Village and Deer Park Monastery, and reproduced here with gratitude.
