In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Journey to Nibbana: Patthana DhamaSee Vatthu Rupas
: Pali Kanon: Manual of Buddhist Terms and Doctrines'heart as physical base' of mental life.
The heart, according to the commentaries as well as to the general Buddhist tradition, forms the physical base (vatthu) of consciousness.
In the canonical texts, however, even in the Abhidhamma Pitaka, no such base is ever localized, a fact which seems to have first been discovered by Shwe Zan Aung (Compendium of Philosophy, pp. 277ff.).
In the Patth. we find repeatedly only the passage: "That material thing based on which mind-element and mind-consciousness element function" (yam r奴pam niss膩ya manodh膩tu ca mano-vi帽帽膩na-dh膩tu ca vattanti, tam r奴pam).
: Dhamma Study: CetasikasHeart-base;
Therav膩da is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
