Kalalarupa and Human Cell in Buddhism

Abstract

The human lives and bodies firstly divided, differentiated and developed from only one single cell called “Kalalarupa” in Buddhism, called “Zygote” in Biology. Inner Kalalarupa or Cell consists of 3 structures of Rupakalapain the following senses:- 1) Kayadasakakalapa plays an important role in data collection to indicate and develop physical characteristic of Kalalarupa or Zygote to be full organs becoming the complete human beings which are unlike other animals. 2) Bhavadasakakalapa plays an important role in human beings’ sex determination at fertilization and develops the physical sexual characteristics. And 3) Vatthudasakakalapa is similar to both heart and brain of Kalalarupa or Cell because in Buddhism, Vatthudasakakalapa is the birth and the work place of the mind.

From the Buddhist viewpoint, the human occurrence is the relationship between the mind and the body, namely:- the mind or the first consciousness called Rebirth-consciousness will work through the body to determine the characters of   Kayadasakakalapa and Bhavathasakakalapa, while the Rebirth-consciousness lives in Vatthudsakakalapa.
