JAINISM AND BUDDHISM
of consciousness is the cessation of Nama rupa. This eight-fold path is the means of the cessation of nâma rupa.
Note. Here the nama of the Buddhist philosophy includes all the worldly conscious thought-activities and impure knowledge. Nâma rupa means a group of all the worldly conditions. According to the Jain literature also all the impure modifications of body and consciousness or the soul are what is called the world. The destruction of all this world is Nirvana just as destruction of Náma rupa is Nirvâna in the Buddhist philosophy. Both the Jain and the Buddhist philosophies are agreed upon this point with difference only in name."
