Summary
In terms of Buddhist view, is a psychophysical combination of mind and matter (nāma and rūpa) which is the five aggregates (pañcakkhandha). The Sangīti Sutta (DN) explains nāma as the psychological basis and rūpa as the physiological basis of the human being. If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that, happiness follows one, even as one‟s shadow that never leaves.” 2 This shows that Buddhism highly concerns the psychological aspect of the human being. Such an objective elaboration is not exposed in western psychology diverse psychological approaches and therapeutic systems based on ever-changing subjective theories from time to time have been introduced.
