The life is the process of nature , what arises and goes in accordance with the laws of the nature .
Nature is the process of cause and effect , which depend on each other.life is the nature that is composed of two parts , namely materiality or body and mentality or the mind . Materiality or the body means the substantial part, what is composed of the earth, the water , the fire and the air elements .
Body can exist by means of the four essential supporting material , namely food , clothing , lodging and medicine . Mind is the nature that arises and and ceases rapidly together with various objects, namely form ,sound, smell , taste , tangible objects and mental objects. Despite the fact that the mind element is of the most subtle and most delicate nature to be understood , this condition can be realized by one with the power of right mindfulness .
With the power of right mindfulness , one can see the four aspects of the mind nature as follows ,
feeling, perception , mind formation or thought and consciousness . Feeling in this context refers to mental feeling , that is divided into the three aspects , such as pleasant feeling , painful feeling and indifferent feeling ( neither pleasant nor painful feeling ) . Perception hereby means recognition of tangible and mental objects . for example , perception of form , perception of sound , perception taste , perception of tangible objects and perception of mind objects. Mind formation means thought or ideas consisting of the wholesome thoughts and unwholesome thoughts. Consciousness means in this context the realization of the objects through the six senses doors , namely eye consciousness , ear consciousness , nose consciousness , tongue consciousness , body consciousness and mind consciousness. In Buddhism it is understood that mind and body are interdependent and cause the existence and continuity of life.
