Ahamkara (English spelling)

Japanese: アハンカーラ(英語表記)ahaṃkāra
Ahamkara (English spelling)
In Sanskrit, it is translated into Chinese as "patience." It is a term used in the Samkhya school, one of the six schools of Indian philosophy. It means self-consciousness. It arises as a result of the development of the fundamental thinking function buddhi (awakening). It is a purely material organ, made up of three components triguṇa, and is characterized by attachment to the self. It is because of ahamkara that people have a self-centered view. It is said that this kind of self-consciousness is the cause of our reincarnation, as it mistakes the material buddhi for the self.

サンスクリット語で,我慢 (がまん) と漢訳される。インド六派哲学の一つであるサーンキヤ学派の術語。自我意識の意。根源的思惟機能 buddhi (覚) が開展した結果生じる。純物質的な一器官であり,3つの構成要素 triguṇaから成り,自己への執着を特質とする。アハンカーラがあるために人は自己本位の見解をいだいている。このような自我意識は,本来物質的なブッディを自我であると誤り,われわれの輪廻を成立させる要因となっていると説く。
