Conquering 18 Realms, 6 Senses, 6 Objects, 6 Consciousnesses. 🌱 Conquering 18 Realms, 6 Senses, 6 Objects and 6 Consciousnesses in Buddhism 🌱 In the path of Buddhist practice, conquering 18 Realms, 6 Senses, 6 Objects and 6 Consciousnesses is an important goal to achieve liberation and enlightenment. 🧘♂️✨ 1️⃣ Realms (6 Realms) - Are the basic elements that help us contact and perceive the world around us through the 6 senses: eyes 👀, ears 👂, nose 👃, tongue 👅, body 👋 and mind 🧠. Conquering the precepts is enlightenment to not be dependent on sensory feelings. 2️⃣ Roots (6 roots) - Including the human senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and mind. Conquering the roots is not letting the senses lead the mind, but must be controlled through meditation 🧘♀️. 3️⃣ Dust (6 dusts) - Are the objects that the senses come into contact with: form 🎨, sound 🎶, scent 🌸, taste 🍽️, touch ✋ and ideas 💭. Conquering the dust is not being swept away by desire or suffering from these objects. 4️⃣ Consciousness (6 consciousnesses) - Is the perception of each sense of the dusts. Conquering consciousness is not letting greed, anger or ignorance dominate the mind. 5️⃣ Correct perception (Knowledge) - Conquering the 18 realms, senses, objects, and consciousness requires correct perception of the nature of life, especially the Four Noble Truths (Suffering, Origin, Extinction, Path). Awareness of impermanence and non-self helps reduce attachment. 6️⃣ Controlling emotions and desires - To conquer the 18 realms, it is necessary to master emotions and desires, not letting them drag the mind into following temporary desires. 7️⃣ Meditation and contemplation 🧘♂️🧘♀️ - Meditation is an important tool to help control the senses, consciousness, and objects. It soothes distractions and helps realize the nature of all things and phenomena. 8️⃣ Liberation (Nirvana) ✨ - The ultimate goal is to be free from the bondage of the senses and external phenomena, achieving a state of absolute peace and not being affected by them. Conquering the 18 realms, 6 senses, 6 objects and 6 consciousnesses is an arduous journey but brings enlightenment and liberation to the soul. 🚶♂️🌸
