Rupa brahma bhumi
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

In Brahma Bhumi, there are 15 Rupa Brahma Bhumi where both body and mind exist.
One Rupa Brahma Bhumi is void of mind or Nama Dhamma.
That realm is called Asannasatta Brahma Bhumi.
Another 4 Brahma Bhumi are Arupa Bhumi where there is no form and there are just 4 Nammakkhandha.
In 15 Rupa Brahma Bhumi where there are five Khandha, at Patisandhi there arise Cakkhu Dassaka Rupa Kalapa, Sota Dassaka Rupa Kalapa, Vatthu Dassaka Rupa Kalapa and Jivita Navaka Rupa Kalapa.
There is no Ghanna-, Jivha-, Kaya-, Bhava- Dassaka Rupa Kalapa arises in these Rupa Brahma Bhumis.
The stated Rupa Kalapa have to arise as long as there is Kamma as to exist in Brahma Bhumi till the 17th Citta from Cuti Citta in that particular Brahma Bhumi.
In Asannasatta Rupa Brahma Bhumi, there is no Nama that is no Citta and no Cetasika as these Dhamma were temporarily eliminated as soon as Asannasatta being comes into existence.
There is just Jivita Navaka Rupa Kalapa. At other time, there arise Lahutadhi Dvadassaka rupa Kalapa arise during the life.
In Arupa Brahma Bhumi, there arises no Rupa or Rupa Kalapa as these beings are highly trained and with their Arupa Jhana power, there does not arise any Rupa.
So there is no Citta that is related to Rupa.
There will be only 4 Namakkhandha in these realms.
