Kalapas
The Buddha taught that all mind and matter is ultimately composed of tiny particles which he called 'kalapas' which arise and pass away trillions of times in the blink of an eye. All kalapas are formed of the eight basic properties of matter: solidity, cohesion, vibration and calorific content (also referred to as earth, water, air and fire) together with color, smell, taste, and nutriment.
