Mind: The new sensory convention

[摘要] Taking reference from the Buddhist philosophy, Ayatanaor “sense-base” includes the mind (or “brain”) as a sense organ, in addition to the traditional five. To me this addition of the mind to the commonly acknowledged five senses appears to be just logical, and that it may arise from the psychological orientation involved in us human. The mind (or brain, as most of us will comprehend) is the central processing unit and the intelligence behind the perception of the said five senses. The mind is the principal gateway to a different spectrum of phenomena that differ from the physically sensed data.
