The six indriyas, or sense organs: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind.
   Everything we experience comes through these portals:
1. Eye (Seeing)
2. Ear (Hearing)
3. Nose (Smelling)
4. Tongue (Tasting)
5. Body (Touching)
6. Mind

Fifth of the twelve Dependent Originations; eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body (touch) and mind, the way sensory information passes into us, represented by the doors and windows of a house
