body, speech, mind, and cognition. Concerning the four factors of body, speech, mind, and cognition ([[lus ngag yid sems bzhi]]), mind refers to the mind consciousness ([[yid kyi rnam shes]]) and cognition ([[sems]]) refers to the [[all-ground consciousness]]. In the Lower Abhidharma it is taught that [[yid]], [[sems]] and [[rnam shes]] are merely synonyms for the same meaning. The Higher Abhidharma teaches that [[sems]] is the [[all-ground consciousness]], [[yid]] is the disturbed mind [[consciousness]] and [[rnam shes]] is the six collections ([[tshogs drug]]).  [RY]
