Six desires: Generally refers to the physical needs or desires of human beings. According to the Eastern Han philosopher Gao Ying, “The six desires are life, death, ears, eyes, mouth, and nose.” The eyes (desire to see, greedy for beautiful and exotic things), the ears (desire to hear, greedy for beautiful sounds and praise), the nose (desire for fragrance, greedy for scent), the tongue (desire for taste, greedy for good food and mouth pleasure), the body (desire for touch, greedy for comfort and enjoyment), and the mind (desire for intention, greedy for sound and color, fame and fortune, and affection). In the Buddhist text “Dhammapada”, the six desires refer to lust, lust for appearance, lust for majesty, lust for speech, lust for sound, lust for smoothness, and lust for human thoughts, which is often referred to as “lust” in modern times. The eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind are called the six roots. People get all kinds of information from the outside world through these six roots. The eyes have the optic nerve, the ears have the auditory nerve, the nose has the olfactory nerve, the tongue has the taste nerve, the body has the sensory nerve, and the mind has the brain nerve. The six roots should be quiet by abstaining from desire and eliminating distracting thoughts. Too much desire will increase the burden on the body and mind, such as: leading to obesity, mind (distractions), evil thoughts, anxiety, irritability, disease. Abstinence from desire will be quiet (no desire is rigid, no selfishness is fearless); the heart is empty (there is tolerance is big, open-minded as the valley); the heart is pure (good heart, good words, good deeds, live an open life)
