五眾 [wu zhong]—(Wǔ zhòng) — [Term] An old translation (舊譯 [jiu yi]) for the Five Aggregates (五蘊 [wu yun]). Old translations also referred to it as "五隱 [wu yin]" (Wǔ yǐn) or "". The character "眾 [zhong]" signifies the meaning of "accumulation" or "assembly" (和集 [he ji]). The Lotus Sutra, Chapter on Parables (法華經譬喻品 [fa hua jing pi yu pin]), states: "expounding separately the arising and ceasing of all phenomena as the Five Aggregates." The Commentary on the Lotus Sutra by Jiāxiáng (法華嘉祥疏 [fa hua jia xiang shu]), volume 5, states: "Because five dharmas accumulate (和集 [he ji]), it is meaningfully called the Five Aggregates. Furthermore, each 'aggregate' (陰 [yin]) consists of many elements, hence it is called '眾 [zhong]'. The Abhidharmahrdaya (雜心 [za xin]) says: 'Accumulation is the meaning of '陰 [yin]' (skandha).'"
The five groups of renunciants:
1. Bhikkhu (比丘 [bi qiu]): A man who has received the full ordination.
2. Bhikkhuni (比丘尼 [bi qiu ni]): A woman who has received the full ordination.
3. Śikṣamāṇā (式叉摩那 [shi cha mo na]): Translated as "female student of the Dharma." A woman who is about to receive full ordination and is studying the six precepts.
4. Śrāmaṇera (沙彌 [sha mi]): A man who has left home and received the ten precepts.
5. Śrāmaṇerī (沙彌尼 [sha mi ni]): A woman who has left home and received the ten precepts.
See Tripitaka Dharma Numbers (三藏法數 [san cang fa shu]), volume 22.
五眾—【名數】五蘊之舊譯，舊譯曰五隱，五眾。眾為和集之義。法華經譬喻品曰：「分別說諸法生滅之五眾。」法華嘉祥疏五曰：「以五法和集，義稱五眾。又一一陰法各眾多故云眾也。雜心云：積聚是陰義。」
出家之五眾：一、比丘，受具足戒之男子。二、比丘尼，受具足戒之女子。三、式叉摩那，譯言學法女。將受具足戒而學六法之女子。四、沙彌，出家受十戒之男子。五、沙彌尼，出家受十戒之女子。見三藏法數二十二。
