The meta question of philosophy of mind are:What is the philosophy of mind? What s the unique problem domain of philosophy of mind? what is the relationship between philo sophy of mind and other disciplines such as psychology, cognitive science, computer science, artificial intelligence? In answering these questions, it is not based on the view of a pers on (even if the authority), the answers should be made by examining the practice of most philosophers of mind, complemented by views of most people. The essential characteristic o f philosophy of mind different from other disciplines is not the discourse made on the mind from philosophical angle, but rather make a reflection and transcend over the knowledge of p sychology. Comprehending the view of Eastern and Western philosophy of mind, the proble m domain of philosophy of mind have two main blocks:one is the the inquiry for truth of philosophy of mind. It is based on the scope, composition, structure, nature and other objec ts of psychology for the study of philosophy of mind seeking truth, mainly clarifying the sc ope, manifestations, nature of psychological phenomena, the unique characteristics of the ps ychological phenomenon different from the physical phenomena, and the psychosomatic relatio ns from the fact;The other is the excavation of the use of the mind. It is the valuing philos ophy of mind studying the potential disposition and resource of the mind,mainly studying the relationship between the state of human existence and mentality from the concept of happine ss, bitter optimistic perspectives and human liberation,and the function of the psychological s tructure and feelings of structure for the quality of life,happiness or not,emotional experience,t he degree of liberation and freedom.Buddhist philosophy of mind has made its own answer to the total issues and sub-issue s of the standard philosophy of mind. It examines psychological phenomena of all,these psych ological phenomena is not only with mutual recognition of the secular philosophy of mind, but also has found some psychological phenomena which the secular philosophy of mind does not recognize, and has made its own unique classification. On this basis, the Buddhist phil osophy of mind has made its own answer to psychosomatic problems, life and death, persona1identity, causality problem of the mind and other issues; Buddhist philosophy of mind has useful resources to today’s spiritual civilization,for example,meditation can optimize individual’s psychology, enhance their well-being, enhance people’s positive psychology and healthy psy chology. A lot of spiritual purification methods and operations of its can optimize social psyc hology such as social perception, social attitudes, and social motivation; Finally, as a crystall ization of human civilization, the Buddhist spiritual philosophy and Marxist philosophy can e ngage in dialogue and exchanges,it also has useful resource to enrich and develop Marxist c onsciousness theory and Marxist human liberation theory, for example, its digging of subcons cious provides reference to enrich and develop Marxist consciousness theory, its reasonable co ntents psychological liberation can add a new dimensionthe to Marxist human liberation theor yAround the total issues and sub-issues of Buddhist philosophy of mind,this paper argues as follows:The first chapter mainly describes the special motivation, dimension and substance of Bu ddhist philosophy of mind. Buddhist philosophy of mind both has scientific motivation, and h as liberating motivation, all beings completely free from suffering,going where sanctification. To achieve this goal, we must get rid of the ego and law enforcement, we are so persistent, because we do not see clearly the nature of mind, the rational approach of the Buddhist phil osophy of mind is to play the role of mind,in order to achieve a realistic explore of the min d.The essence of the Buddhist philosophy of mind is holy science, the ten Dharma realms ar e divided by psychology personality, Buddha is the best state of life.The second chapter is to clarify the ontology of Buddhism, which is also the premise to be close to the Buddhist philosophy of mind. On general sense, there are materialistic and i dealistic perspective in Buddhism, on ultimate meaning, Buddhist ontology is a special non-ex istence theory,which is transcending materialism and idealism.The third chapter is to describe the scope of the three psychological findings. Westerners mentioned that one can perceive lurking deep subconscious mind under the surface of consci ousness mind in the17th century, as early as2,500years ago, Sakyamuni Buddha had studie d the deep mind of human being, and had described in detail the psychological phenomenon under the surface of consciousness, found the vast psychological phenomena the secular philos ophy had not payed attention to, such as the seventh consciousness, the eighth consciousness, the ninth consciousness, the tenth consciousness, real mind, phenomenological nature mind.The fourth chapter is about the description of true mind,false mind and refined mind,whi ch is the exclusive subject of the Buddhist philosophy of mind. They are the psychological f oundation of beings’liberation from suffering and gaining true happiness.The fifth chapter is the description and analysis of psychological phenomena appearing in meditation. In the meditation process there will appear many new psychological phenomenon s, religious have done a lot of studies on these psychological phenomena, the Buddhist philos ophy of mind has described and made deep analysis about a variety of psychological phenom ena appearing in meditation around these issues such as the kinds of psychological phenomen a, the causes,the nature, content, the psychological mechanisms to go to where the sanctificatiThe sixth chapter is about the Buddhist mind and body structure picture. The divisions o f psychosomatic are all illusory conceptions, on ultimate meaning, there is no psychosomatic problems,it is unimaginable and Ineffable. But on general sense, Sakyamuni Buddha addressed the psychosomatic problems, but Buddhism’psychosomatic theory is not dichotomy, it is diver se. Exoteric doctrine’psychosomatic pattern is not simply binary, the man is made up of by di verse five categories and one hundred subcategories of things.Tibetan Buddhist’concept of the body not only answers the basic questions of the concept of the body, and makes a detailed answer to the mystery of the human body around several unique aspects such as the origin o f the body, the type of the body, the relationship between the body and the liberation,of the relationship between physical problems, pollution and clean of the body.The seventh chapter is to illustrate the life and death doctrine of Buddhism from the per spective of the philosophy of mind. On the sense of secular philosophy, human has birth and death,on the ultimate sense,human has no birth and death.Buddhism reveals the roots and n ature of life and death through the illusory, clarifies the meaning and the value of life, indica tes the process,shape and nature of life and death, answers the possibility and ways to achiev e liberation in circulation of life and death, eliminates the beings’ fear of death, awakens being s’responsibility in the circulation of life and death.The eighth chapter is about the answer of the Buddhist philosophy of mind to other que stions.In addition to the range of psychology,psychosomatic theory and the doctrine of life an d death,the Buddhist philosophy of mind also has made its own unique answer to the issue o f self-identity and personality,the problem of psychological causality.The ninth chapter is about the reference inspired by the Buddhist philosophy of mind to the individual spiritual civilization.The problem of current spiritual civilization is that the pos itive emotions and sense of happiness of people do not inprove,although material life has imp roved a lot.As a way of life,Buddhist meditation can enhance people’s sense of happiness,elim inate negative emotions such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety and others. Meditation has worthing content for optimizing individual psychology to learn,which has attrac ted the attention of western philosophers of mind, the study of these issues will be a power t o promote the optimization of personal psychology, and to enhance the individual spiritual civ ilization.The tenth chapter is about the reference inspired by the Buddhist philosophy of mind to the construction of social spiritual civilization.Social psychology is the basis for the construct ion of socialist spiritual civilization, today we can tap the reasonable content of the Buddhist philosophy of mind to optimize social psychology such as social awareness, social attitudes,so cial motivation and others.The eleventh chapter is a comparative study on the Buddhist philosophy of mind and M arxist philosophy. On the scope of the mind, the Buddhist philosophy of mind can be associa ted with Marxist awareness theory and Marx’s theory of human liberation,meanwhile, the uni que wisdom of the Buddhist philosophy of mind can also be used to enrich and develop Mar xist theory of consciousness and Marxist theory of human liberation.
