‘‘ Do We Realise? ‘‘
_______________________________________________________________
* Pali: Namarupa – is often used interchangeably with the five khandhas. But the
term can also be meant to express the simplest categorization of components of
a human being. This term is used to refer to the psycho-physical aggregates that
are the basis for self-grasping:
Nama (name or mind) refers to psychological aggregates of a human being
Rupa (form) refers to the physical aggregates
These two aggregates are mutually dependent; together they designate an
individual being.
