Kyōgai (
Sanskrit: विषया),[4][5] specifically in their contexts as a pasture where animals graze and the boundary of that pasture.[2]
The kyōgai is a private experience, such that one person's kyōgai will be different from another's,[5][2] and a person's kyōgai changes with time and experience.[5] The term is also used to describe a person's behavior or attitude,[5] for example an routine action done by a person or a person's way of doing things is described as their kyōgai.[6]
In the
kōans, as opposed to an intellectual understanding of a fixed answer to the kōan itself.[5]
The term can also less commonly refer to a shared viewpoint, such as a Western kyōgai being used to describe the experiences and understanding of the world through the lens of a person in the Western world.[2]
