Discussion

matter. Established as particles. Synonymous with form. One of the three classifications of things, along with mind and non-concurrent formations. Note that matter is not necessarily lifeless nor dead: your physical body is, after all, matter (bem po), but if you can read this one would assume it were neither lifeless nor dead. DKC
