Rūpa
Rūpa (Skt., ‘form’). The means in Eastern religions through which the accidental and transitory flux of appearance achieves identifiable shape. By means of rūpa, appearance becomes an object of perception.
In Buddhism, rūpa is associated with nāma, as in nāma-rūpa, in the analysis of human appearance, to denote corporeality; see also KHANDHA.
