Abstract
This research is of three objectives: - 1. For studying the human beings in Suttantapitaka. 2. For studying the origination of human beings in Suttantapitaka. 3. For studying the development of human beings in Suttantapitaka.
From studying, it is found that the human beings in Suttantapitaka are of“High Spirits.” The human baigs mean the first minds appearing in mother’s pregnancy, and later growing up and later on were born as the infant, then growing up to be a child and later to bee adult, to be old and to pass away at the end. This is a human being that is divided according to the gender into two features: - 1. Itthībhāvarūpa : An image designating the female-hood. 2. Purisabhāva : An image designating the male-hood.
The Buddha said that the Human Beings must also have virtues. They should be deserved to get the name as “Haring High Spirit”, and to be a perfect man. Buddhism reflected an appreciation of manhood and the importance of his life that this manhood can hardly to be gotten. The human’s mind is regarded as a special nature which enables the human beings to create the value when it is well practiced, trained, developed, protected, kept and controlled. It will, thus, give much benefit and tremendous outcome as the Buddha’s words “well trained mind brings happiness to a person”
From studying the human beings’ origination in Suttantapitaka, it is found that an origin of human being is from maternal pregnancy with three factors: - 1. Parents live together and makes sexual intercourse. 2. The mother is at the Mense Age. 3. Creatures appeared in mother’s pregnancy. The human Being’s life is of two factors:- 1. Matter and mind. 2. Both of them depend on each other, carrying on their duties for taking their lives, or in other word, Rūpa and Nāma (Form and Abstract) are of five aggregates (pañcakkhandha) i.e. Rūpa (form), Vedanā (sensation), Saññā (conception), Sankhāra (formation) and Viññāna (conciousness). Rūpa is still Rūpa, Vedanā, Saññā, Sankhāra and Viññāna are abstract and the human-origination is goings under the law of Kamma. Kamma will divide the human beings to be bad and good.
From studying the development of human beings in Suttantapitaka, it is found that Rūpa is the first Kalala, from Kalala to Abbuda, from Abbuda to Pesi, from Pesi to Ghana, from Ghana to 5 groups. Then the hairs, the furs and the nail rise up. Some of food and water consumed by the mother of the have fed their lives with those foods.
In the mother’s pregnancy there is an evolution from the first week to Kalala which is a clearing slime of a slimy feature like ghee. By it’s size as a drop of sesame oil, It is an initiative origin of human life. With three phases of bio-physical structure which are:- physical structure, brain structure, gender structure, up to 42nd week, by depending on Kammajavāta which originates from Kamma. The child’s body changes the post of feet and turns them up, the head turns down and moves to vagina. Then, the infant was born from the maternal pregnancy.
For studying about the mental development, It isn’t less important than a physical one, and must be derived from training for strengthening and stabilizing the mind, growing with morality and virtue :- Coving kindness (Mettā), Compassion (Karuna), Sympathy (Muditā), Equanimity (Upekkhā). It is called the person with “developed body”, “developed mind”, “developed virtue by real practicing, realizing by hand-making, utilizing both his orn life and the good member of societies forever”.
