Abstract Compared with psychology and philosophy of mind， especially the well-developed and well-renowned contemporary western philosophy of mind， philosophy of mind in Buddhism does have an upper hand. It refers to widely-discussed topics in contemporary western philosophy of mind like the quality and phenomenological features of mind， comes up with the unique questions like the relationships between mind and moksha and between the true mind and the false mind， and has constructed its own system of discourse and theories. Buddhist philosophy of mind reveals two dimensions and three discoveries. The two dimensions are the dimension of the speakable and the dimension of the unspeakable. The first discovery is to find the hidden “true mind” in common mental phenomena； The second is the observation of deep psychology as well as superficial mental phenomena， for instance， alaya， avidya and amala； The third is the finding of mental phenomena with phenomenological features(or as high-order phenomena or presented as phenomenological true mind and false mind)beside self-mastery mental phenomena.
