Upādāna is a word used in both Buddhism and Hinduism.

Buddhism[edit | edit source]

Template:PaliCanonSamanaViews Upādāna is the Sanskrit and Pāli word for "Template:Wiki," "Template:Wiki" or "Template:Wiki", although the literal meaning is "fuel." Upādāna and tṛṣṇā (Skt.; Pali: taṇhā) are seen as the two primary causes of suffering. The Template:Wiki of Template:Wiki leads to Nirvana.

Types of Template:Wiki[edit | edit source]

In the Sutta Pitaka, the Buddha states that there are four types of Template:Wiki:

The Buddha once stated that, while other sects might provide an appropriate analysis of the first three types of Template:Wiki, he alone fully elucidated clinging to the "Template:Wiki" and its resultant suffering.

The Abhidhamma and its commentaries provide the following definitions for these four Template:Wiki types:

  1. sense-Template:Wiki Template:Wiki: repeated Template:Wiki of worldly things.
  2. wrong-view Template:Wiki: such as Template:Wiki (e.g., "The world and Template:Wiki are Template:Wiki") or Template:Wiki.
  3. rites-and-rituals Template:Wiki: believing that rites alone could directly lead to Template:Wiki, typified in the texts by the rites and rituals of "Template:Wiki practice" and "Template:Wiki practice."
  4. Template:Wiki-doctrine Template:Wiki: Template:Wiki-Template:Wiki with Template:Wiki-less entities (e.g., illustrated by MN 44, and further discussed in the skandha and anatta articles).

According to Buddhaghosa, the above ordering of the four types of Template:Wiki is in terms of Template:Wiki grossness, that is, from the most obvious (grossest) type of Template:Wiki .(sense-Template:Wiki Template:Wiki) to the subtlest (Template:Wiki-doctrine Template:Wiki).

Meaning of Upadana is raw material. For example, Upadana of a pot is soil. After Tanha is generated in Satta or creature, it gathers Upadana khandas as upadanas, as raw materials. Using upadana khandas it tries to generate required vedanas. As there are five setsor kinds of upadanas they are called panch upadana khandas. All the Upadana things are clssified in five upadana khandas, five sets or categories. Only after gathering of upadanas satta — creature can manifest itself. Hence after upadana there comes a link of Bhava. So the meaning 'Template:Wiki' is wrong.

Interdependence of Template:Wiki types[edit | edit source]

Buddhaghosa further identifies that these four Template:Wiki types are causally interconnected as follows:

  1. self-doctrine Template:Wiki: first, one assumes that one has a permanent "Template:Wiki."
  2. wrong-view Template:Wiki: then, one assumes that one is either somehow eternal or to be Template:Wiki after this life.
  3. resultant Template:Wiki manifestations:
    1. rites-and-rituals Template:Wiki: if one assumes that one is Template:Wiki, then one clings to rituals to achieve Template:Wiki-Template:Wiki.
    2. sense-Template:Wiki Template:Wiki: if one assumes that one will completely disappear after this life, then one disregards the next world and clings to sense Template:Wiki.

This Template:Wiki of Template:Wiki types is represented diagrammatically to the right.

Thus, based on Buddhaghosa's analysis, Template:Wiki is more fundamentally an erroneous core belief (Template:Wiki-doctrine Template:Wiki) than a habitualized affective experience (sense-Template:Wiki Template:Wiki).

Manifestations of Template:Wiki[edit | edit source]

In terms of consciously knowable mental Template:Wiki, the Abhidhamma identifies sense-pleasure Template:Wiki with the mental factor of "Template:Wiki" (lobha) and the other three types of Template:Wiki (Template:Wiki-doctrine, wrong-view and rites-and-rituals Template:Wiki) with the mental factor of "wrong view" (ditthi). Thus, experientially, Template:Wiki can be known through the Abhidhamma's fourfold definitions of these mental factors as indicated in the following table

characteristic function manifestation proximate cause
Template:Wiki (lobha) Template:Wiki an Template:Wiki sticks, like hot-pan meat not giving up enjoying things of bondage
wrong view (ditthi) unwise interpreting presumes wrong belief not hearing the Dhamma

To distinguish craving from clinging, Buddhaghosa uses the following Template:Wiki:

"Template:Wiki is the aspiring to an object that one has not yet reached, like a thief's stretching out his hand in the dark; Template:Wiki is the Template:Wiki of an object that one has reached, like the thief's Template:Wiki his objective.... [T]hey are the roots of the suffering due to seeking and guarding."

Thus, for instance, when the Buddha talks about the "aggregates of Template:Wiki," he is referring to our Template:Wiki and guarding Template:Wiki, mental and conscious experiences that we falsely believe we are or possess.

Template:Nidanas

As part of the causal chain of suffering[edit | edit source]

In the Four Noble Truths, the First Noble Truth identifies clinging (upādāna, in terms of "the aggregates of Template:Wiki") as one of the core experiences of suffering. The Second Noble Truth identifies Template:Wiki (tanha) as the basis for suffering. In this manner a causal relationship between craving and Template:Wiki is found in the Buddha's most fundamental teaching.

In the twelve-linked chain of Dependent Origination (Pratītyasamutpāda, also see Twelve Nidanas), Template:Wiki (upādāna) is the ninth causal link:

"With Craving as condition, Template:Wiki arises".
"With Template:Wiki as condition, Becoming arises."

According to Buddhaghosa, it is sense-Template:Wiki Template:Wiki that arises from Template:Wiki and that conditions becoming.

Upādāna as fuel[edit | edit source]

Template:Wiki Richard F. Gombrich has pointed out in several publications, and in his recent Numata Visiting Template:Wiki Lectures at the Template:Wiki, School of Template:Wiki and African Studies (SOAS), that the literal meaning of upādāna is "fuel". He uses this to link the term to the Buddha's use of fire as a Template:Wiki. In the so-called Fire Sermon (Āditta-pariyāya) (Vin I, 34-5; SN 35.28) the Buddha tells the bhikkhus that everything is on fire. By everything he tells them he means the five senses plus the mind, their objects, and the operations and feelings they give rise to — i.e. everything means the Template:Wiki of experience. All these are burning with the fires of greed, hatred and delusion.

In the nidana chain, then, craving creates fuel for continued burning or becoming (bhava). The mind like fire, seeks out more fuel to sustain it, in the case of the mind this is sense Template:Wiki, hence the Template:Wiki the Buddha places on "guarding the gates of the senses". By not being caught up in the senses (appamāda) we can be Template:Wiki from greed, hatred and delusion. This liberation is also expressed using the fire Template:Wiki when it is termed nibbāna (Sanskrit: Nirvāṇa) which means to "go out", or literally to "blow out". (Regarding the word Nirvāṇa, the verb vā is intransitive so no agent is required.)

Probably by the time the canon was written down (1st Century BCE), and certainly when Buddhaghosa was writing his commentaries (4th Century CE) the sense of the Template:Wiki appears to have been lost, and upādāna comes to mean simply "Template:Wiki" as above. By the time of the Mahayana the term fire was dropped altogether and Template:Wiki, Template:Wiki and Template:Wiki are known as the "three poisons".

Meaning of Upadana in Template:Wiki Template:Wiki is 'raw material'. Upadana has the same meaning in Buddhist Template:Wiki. Soil is the upadana for a pot. Similarly Panch Upadana khandas are taken by, possessed by Satta - Jeeva - creature for manifestation of its own. After Tanha arises in satta- creature, it gathers Panchupadanas (Rup, Template:Wiki, Sanna, Sanskara and Vinnana) for fulfillment of its Tanhas. So 'clinging' is the wrong meaning of Upadana.

From Pali kanon.com[edit | edit source]

'Template:Wiki', according to Vis.M. XVII, is an intensified Template:Wiki of Template:Wiki (tanhā).

The 4 kinds of Template:Wiki are:

(1) "What now is the sensuous Template:Wiki? Whatever with regard to sensuous objects there exists of sensuous Template:Wiki, sensuous Template:Wiki, sensuous Template:Wiki, sensuous Template:Wiki, sensuous deluded ness, sensuous fetters: this is called sensuous clinging.

(2) What is the Template:Wiki to views? 'Alms and offerings are useless; there is no fruit and result for good and bad deeds: all such view and wrong conceptions are called the Template:Wiki to views.

(3) "What is the Template:Wiki to mere rules and ritual? The holding firmly to the view that through mere rules and ritual one may reach purification: this is called the Template:Wiki to mere rules and ritual.

(4) "What is the Template:Wiki to the personality-belief? The 20 kinds of Template:Wiki-views with regard to the groups of existence (s. sakkāya-ditthi): these are called the Template:Wiki to the personality-belief" (Dhs.1214-17).

This traditional fourfold division of Template:Wiki is not quite satisfactory. Besides kamupādāna we should expect either rūpupādāna and arūpupādāna, or simply bhavupādāna. Though the Anāgāmī is entirely free from the traditional 4 kinds of upādāna, he is not freed from rebirth, as he still possesses bhavupādāna. The Com. to Vis.M. XVII, in trying to get out of this Template:Wiki, explains kāmupādāna as including here all the remaining kinds of Template:Wiki.

"Template:Wiki' is the common rendering for u., though 'Template:Wiki' would come closer to the literal meaning of it, which is 'uptake'; s. Three Cardinal Discourses (WHEEL 17), p.19.
