In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
: Red Zambala: Hindu Icons and Symbols | Trinity狈腻尘补谤奴辫补 (啶ㄠぞ啶ぐ啷傕お):鈥擳he universe of our empirical experience is composed of Ideation (苍腻尘补) and Form (谤奴辫补). We see the universe and then participate in it through the process of naming everything. By naming something we are able to understand it and obtain a sense of control over it. So this process of creating, cognising and naming are all symbolised by the drum (岣峚尘补谤耻), held in the right upper hand of Na峁璦r膩ja (a dancing form of 艢iva).
Shilpashastra (啶多た啶侧啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 艣ilpa艣膩stra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Access to Insight: A Glossary of Pali and Buddhist TermsName and form; mind and matter; mentality physicality. The union of mental phenomena (nama) and physical phenomena (rupa) that constitutes the five aggregates (khandha), and which lies at a crucial link in the causal chain of dependent co arising (paticca samuppada).
: Pali Kanon: Manual of Buddhist Terms and Doctrines(lit. 'name and form'): 'mind-and-body', mentality and corporeality. It is the 4th link in the dependent origination (s. paticcasamupp膩da 3, 4) where it is conditioned by consciousness, and on its part is the condition of the sixfold sense-base. In two texts (D. 14, 15), which contain variations of the dependent origination, the mutual conditioning of consciousness and mind-and-body is described (see also S. XII, 67), and the latter is said to be a condition of sense-impression (phassa); so also in Sn. 872.
The third of the seven purifications (s. visuddhi), the purification of views, is defined in Vis.M. XVIII as the "correct seeing of mind-and-body," and various methods for the discernment of mind-and-body by way of insight-meditation (vipassan膩, q.v.) are given there. In this context, 'mind' (苍腻尘补) comprises all four mental groups, including consciousness. - See 苍腻尘补.
In five-group-existence (pa帽ca-vok膩ra-bhava, q.v.), mind-and body are inseparable and interdependent; and this has been illustrated by comparing them with two sheaves of reeds propped against each other: when one falls the other will fall, too; and with a blind man with stout legs, carrying on his shoulders a lame cripple with keen eye-sight: only by mutual assistance can they move about efficiently (s. Vis.M. XVIII, 32ff). On their mutual dependence, see also paticca-samupp膩da (3).
With regard to the impersonality and dependent nature of mind and corporeality it is said:
"Sound is not a thing that dwells inside the conch-shell and comes out from time to time, but due to both, the conch-shell and the man that blows it, sound comes to arise: Just so, due to the presence of vitality, heat and consciousness, this body may execute the acts of going, standing, sitting and lying down, and the 5 sense-organs and the mind may perform their various functions" (D. 23).
"Just as a wooden puppet though unsubstantial, lifeless and inactive may by means of pulling strings be made to move about, stand up, and appear full of life and activity; just so are mind and body, as such, something empty, lifeless and inactive; but by means of their mutual working together, this mental and bodily combination may move about, stand up, and appear full of life and activity."
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).
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra狈腻尘补谤奴辫补 (啶ㄠぞ啶ぐ啷傕お, 鈥淣ame-and-form鈥�) refers to the fourth of twelve 辫谤补迟墨迟测补蝉补尘耻迟辫腻诲补 (dependent origination) according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra chapter X. Vij帽膩na produces both the four formless aggregates (补谤奴辫颈蝉办补苍诲丑补) [perception (蝉补峁僯帽腻), feeling (惫别诲补苍腻), volition (蝉补峁僺办腻谤补), consciousness (惫颈箩帽腻苍补)] and form (谤奴辫补) which serves as base them. This is name and form, 苍腻尘补谤奴辫补. From this 苍腻尘补谤奴辫补 there arise the six sense organs, eye (肠补办峁蝉), etc. These are the 峁岣嵞乱补迟补苍补蝉, the six inner bases of consciousness.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.
