Hekiganroku - Case 47: Unmon's "Six" A monk asked Unmon, "What is the Dharma-body [1]?" Unmon said, "The six [2] can't grasp it." [1]: (same note as Case 39) The body of the ultimate Truth (Jap. hoshin, sk. dharmakaya) or one of the three bodies of Buddha. [2]: The "Six" means "six roots" (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, consciousness), "six objects" (color, voice, odor, taste, touch, phenomenon), and/or "six functions" (see, hear, smell, taste, feel, know). Or it could be any other "six"-ness.
