Verses on the Patterns of the Eight Consciousnesses
A short mnemonic-verse text traditionally attributed to Xuánzàng 玄奘 (602–664), summarising the Yogācāra doctrine of the eight consciousnesses in twelve four-line verses (three verses each for: the five sense-consciousnesses, the 6th yìshí 意識 mental consciousness, the 7th mònà 末那 defiled-mind, and the 8th ālàiyé 阿賴耶 storehouse-consciousness). The verses capture the consciousnesses’ characteristics, levels of defilement and purification, and association with the four kinds of wisdom (sì zhì 四智). Not separately catalogued in the Kanripo corpus; transmitted within commentarial expositions such as KR6q0215 Xūzhōu chánshī zhù Bā shí guī jǔ sòng by Xūzhōu Xíngxǐng.
