In Buddhism, conceptual proliferation((パーリ語:papañca), (中国語:戲論)) refers to conceptualization of the world through the use of ever-expanding language and concepts.〔Nanananda 1997, p. 4〕 The translation of papañca as conceptual proliferation was first made by Katukurunde Nanananda Thera in his research monograph Concept and Reality.〔Nanananda 1997〕 It is a useful concept, not only in Buddhism but in many other fields (see below). It is intended to elucidate reality, although it has the unexpected result of blotting out or reducing direct nonverbal sensory perception. In part, this is due to each person's limitation of how many things they can pay attention to at the same time. A person who can only attend to two things at once, may be able to receive a direct sensory picture of the tree while at the same time saying "The apple tree in the garden," but the picture will not be as complete.〔The Attention Revolution: Unlocking the Power of the Focused Mind. Wisdom, 2006〕〔http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/James/Principles/prin11.htm〕 Accident Prevention For example, California lists distraction (conceptual proliferation is perhaps the biggest) as one of the 3 major causes of accidents.〔http://dmv.ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffdl28.htm〕 The term is mentioned in a variety of ''suttas'' in the Pali canon, such as the Madhupindika Sutta (MN 18), and is mentioned in Mahayana Buddhism as well. When referencing the concepts derived from this process, such concepts are referred to in Pali as ''papañca-saññā-sankhā''. ==Nippapañca== ''Nippapañca'' is the diametrical opposition of ''papañca''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conceptual proliferation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
