五蕴是生命之树的五个节，是五个业习气的积聚体。什么是业？古代身口意行为习惯的集聚统称作业。业就是三业：身业、口业、意业。身业是身体行为习惯的积聚，此身即是。口业是语言行为习气的积聚，此口所讲的就是。意业是思维习气的积聚，此心所想的就是。
The five nodes are the five nodes of the tree of life, the five accumulators of karmic habits. What is karma? In ancient times the aggregation of body, mouth, and intent behavioral habits was collectively called karma. Karma is the three karmas: body karma, oral karma, and intent karma. Body karma is the accumulation of bodily behavioral habits, which this body is. Oral karma is the accumulation of habits of oral behaviors, which is what the mouth speaks. Intentional karma is the accumulation of habits of thoughts, and what the heart (i.e., mind) thinks is what it is. 
业对于生命之树来说，就好像是落叶乔木的树干（如插图11.4），冬天时叶子落光了，树失去了生命的迹象。春天时，环境适合了，树干就发枝散叶，树又变得生机盎然。生命之树的生长与繁荣表现在业习气的形成和枯萎。
Karma is to the tree of life like the trunk of a deciduous tree (see Figure 11.4). In winter, the leaves fall off and like the tree loses its life. In spring, when conditions are right, the trunk sprouts branches and leaves, and the deciduous tree becomes full of life again. The growth and prosperity of the tree of life is reflected in the formation and withering of karmic habits.
 
五蕴是五种业的积聚体，是从色蕴、受蕴、想蕴、行蕴、识蕴，这五个方面来讲解业。此五蕴具有集性、取性、和有性，所以亦作五取蕴。五蕴能统摄佛教五位百法中的前94位有为法；不摄无为法（参见11.6.4 离系果（https://web.6parkbbs.com/index.php?app=forum&act=view&tid=4283849），和金刚经的17.2.9 禁果（https://web.6parkbbs.com/index.php?app=forum&act=view&tid=4334925）），因为无为法与 “集、取、有” 的性质相违，与 “舍、等、空” 的性质相应。
The five nodes are the five accumulations of karmic habits, which are explained in terms of the five aspects of karma: color node, acceptance node, think node, migration node, and sense node. The five nodes have the nature of “aggregate, fetch, and have”, so are also known as five fetch nodes. The five nodes can assimilate 94 have-as laws among the Buddhist five positions 100 laws, can not assimilate none-as laws (see 11.6.4 Off-is Fruit, and 17.2.9 Forbidden Fruit of Diamond Sutra), because none-as laws contradict with nature of “aggregate, fetch, and have”, corresponds with nature of “renunciation, equality, and empty”.
