六衰 [liu shuai]—The six ruiners, i. e. the attractions of the six senses, idem 六塵 [liu chen], 六賊 [liu zei] q. v.
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
六衰 [liu shuai]—Six Decays — [Nomenclature] The six dusts/objects of senses (色等六塵 [se deng liu chen]), such as form, can diminish and exhaust a person's true nature (真性 [zhen xing]), hence they are called the Six Decays, which is synonymous with the Six Thieves (六賊 [liu zei]). Fahua Wenju, Vol. 4, states: "The Lalitavistara Sutra says: 'Without the five destinies (五趣 [wu qu]), the five skandhas (五陰 [wu yin]), and the Six Decays, then it is nirvana (泥洹 [ni huan]).'" The same commentary states: "Decay is simply a thief, because it can cause damage and exhaustion." Zhonglun Shu, Vol. 4, end, states: "The six dusts/objects of senses are also called the Six Decays, causing goodness to decay and perish." See the entry for Six Thieves (六賊 [liu zei]).
六衰—【名數】色等六塵，能衰耗人之真性，故曰六衰，猶言六賊也。法華文句四曰：「普曜經曰：無五趣五陰六衰，則是泥洹。」同記曰：「衰祇是賊，能損耗故。」中論疏四末曰：「六塵亦名六衰，令善衰滅。」見六賊條。(六賊)
