六根和六塵是生命之樹的十二個生長處,是植物的十二個生長點(如圖)。
Six roots and six dusts are 12 growth places of life tree, are twelve growing points of the plant (refers to illustration). 
  
六根 Six Inner Growth Places 

根是因、能生的意思;以能對境生識,故謂之根。言六根者:
一、眼,能見色者是,以能對色而生眼識,故謂眼根。
二、耳,能聽聲者是,以能對聲而生耳識,故謂耳根。
三、鼻,能嗅香者是,以能對香而生鼻識,故謂鼻根。
The root means 「reason」, cause, and the ability to produce when they meet suitable environments. The called six inner roots are: 
(1) eye root, is that who can see colors, because it meets colors, can give birth to eye-senses, so it is called the eye-root.
(2) ear root, is that who can hear sounds, because it meets sounds, can produce ear-senses, so it is called ear-root.
(3) nose root, is that who can smell fragrance, when nose-root meets fragrance, nose-senses appear, so it is called nose-root.

四、舌,能嘗味者是,以能對味而生舌識,故謂舌根。
五、身,能感觸者是,以能對觸而生身識,故謂身根。
六、意,能知法者是,以能對法而生意識,故謂意根。
此六根還有六受、六入、六處等名義。
(4) tongue root, is the one who can taste the taste, because when it meets suitable environment, is able to perceive the taste and produce tongue-senses, so it is called the root of the tongue.
(5) body root, is capable to perceive touches; when it is touched, can generate body-senses, so it is called as root of the body.
(6) intent root, modern psychology calls it preconscious; when it meets laws, intent-senses (i.e., consciousness) appear, so it is called as intent root or 「juristic place」.
The six inner roots also have alias of 「six receptionists」, 「six entrants」, 「six places」, etc.

六塵 Six Outer Growth Places 

六根所接之塵有六:色、聲、香、味、觸、法。塵即染污之義,以能染污情識故。言六塵者:
一、色,謂眼所見者,如明暗質礙等,以能染污眼根,故謂色塵。
二、聲,謂耳所聞者,如動靜美惡等,以能染污耳根,故謂聲塵。
三、香,謂鼻所嗅者,如通塞香臭等,以能染污鼻根,故謂香塵。
What contacting the six roots are the six kinds of dusts: color, sound, incense, taste, touch, and law. Dust means contamination because they can pollute sentient feelings. The sayings of six dusts:
(1) color, refers to what the eye sees, such as bright, dark, etc. substantial hindrances; since it contaminates eye-senses, so it is called color dust.
(2) sound, refers to what the ear hears, such as movement, stillness, beauty and evil, etc., because it can pollute the ears, so it is called sound dust.
(3) fragrance, refers to what is smelled by the nose, such as a stuffy smell, etc., which can contaminate the root of the nose, so it is called incense dust.

四、味,謂舌所嘗者,如鹹淡甘辛等,以能染污舌根,故謂味塵。
五、觸,謂身所感者,如離合冷暖等,以能染污身根,故謂觸塵。
六、法,謂意所知者,如生滅善惡等,以能染污意根,故謂法塵。
此六塵還有六欲、六入、六處、六境、六賊等名義。
(4) taste, refers to what the tongue tastes, such as salty, mild, sweet, and pungent, etc., because it can pollute the root of the tongue, so it is called taste dust.
(5) touch, refers to the sensations of the body, such as separation, reunion, coldness and warmth, etc., which can pollute the roots of the body, so it is called touch dust.
(6) law, refers to what is known by the mind, such as birth and death, good and evil, etc., which can pollute the root of intent (i.e., preconscious), so it is called juristic dust.
The six dusts also have the names of six desires, six enterers, six places, six environments, and six thieves, etc.
