28 Rupa, cell structure and the human body?

Post by SarathW »

The Abhidhamma analysis of 28 Rupa Kalapa is nothing more than the ancient way of defining the cell structure and the body structure of a sentient being.
The difference is Abhidhamma asserts that there are much more smaller cell structures are existing at a more micro level. Perhaps millions smaller than the normal cell.
It is more close to the structure of an atom or even smaller atomic particles.
What is your opinion?

What is interesting here is that well before science concludes the atom is divisible, people in India were thinking about this.
Not only thinking, but they also came up with a formula.

Because Indians rejected Buddhism and propagate Hinduism.
If they practice Buddhism, India would have been the most successful country in this world.
Even in a country like Sri Lanka, the problem is people do not understand true Buddhism and most importantly do not practice.
Sri Lankan monks still have the caste system.
Forget about the average layperson.
Do not blame Buddha for it.
I hope the West will learn and practice true Buddhism.

Wrong . Whatever kind of technology has nothing to do with dhamma . All technology achievements arises out of mundane thinking not otherwise .

Mundane thinking alone is not sufficient.
