Changes

All  matter  in  the  Universe  is  made-up  of  five  inseparable,  but  ever-changing  energies  which  are  called  the  patavi  energy,  apo  energy, tejo  energy,  vayo  energy  and akasha  energy.

*Patavi  energy  supports  other  energies.  Excess  patavi  energy  gives  rise  to  solid  state  of  matter.(This resembles with [[Prithvi mahabhuta]])

*Patavi  energy  supports  other  energies.  Excess  patavi  energy  gives  rise  to  solid  state  of  matter.(This resembles with [[Prithvi mahabhuta]])

*Apo  energy  binds  other  energies  together.  Excess  apo  energy  gives  rise  to  liquid  state  of  matter.(This resembles with [[Apa mahabhuta]])  

*Apo  energy  binds  other  energies  together.  Excess  apo  energy  gives  rise  to  liquid  state  of  matter.(This resembles with [[Aap mahabhuta]])  

*Tejo  energy  causes  maturation  of  other  energies.  Excess  in  tejo  energy  gives  rise  to  plasma  state  of  matter.(This resembles with [[Teja mahabhuta]])  

*Tejo  energy  causes  maturation  of  other  energies.  Excess  in  tejo  energy  gives  rise  to  plasma  state  of  matter.(This resembles with [[Teja mahabhuta]])  

*Vayo  energy  causes  movement  of  other  energies.  Excess  vayo  energy  gives  rise  to  gaseous  state  of  matter.(This resembles with [[Vayu mahabhuta]])  

*Vayo  energy  causes  movement  of  other  energies.  Excess  vayo  energy  gives  rise  to  gaseous  state  of  matter.(This resembles with [[Vayu mahabhuta]])  

The  Buddha  goes  further  and  explains  that  a  fetus  has  to  combine  with  vinnana  dhatu ([[Consciousness]])  to become  a  "being"([[Purusha]]).  Vinnana  dhatu  is  also  a  type  of  akasha  dhatu (field force)  which  carries  information  from  the  previous  birth.

The selection of the next birth place depends on the potential energy of this leaving, dynamic vinnana  dhatu (fieldforce). This is similar to a television signal of a particular frequency being attracted to a television set which is attuned-up to that same frequency. Also the television signal does not transmit any  sound or pictures but dynamic energy with an imprint of the voice and picture. Similarly there is transmission of dynamic, ever-changing vinnana  dhatu (field-forces) with an “ imprint” of the individual to the next life. Apart from that, there is no transmission of a permanent “Self”, “Soul”, or a “Spirit” from one life to another.<ref>Senaka Ranasinghe,The Science and the Art of Buddhism. 5th Edition, 2015:Buddhist Cultural Centre, Dehiwala,Srilanka.</ref>
