The Sixth Sensation

From the buddhist perspective, there is a sixth sense, and that sixth one is the mind. You can think of the five senses as sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. Next we'll go into sensation. It's what we experience through the contact of these sensing organs with the external world. This is the first place where conditioning arises. And the way it works is that when we sense something, thereis a feeling associated with the experience - either pleasant or unpleasant.
