ATI Glossary

kāya: Body. Usually refers to the physical body (rūpa-kāya; see rūpa), but sometimes refers to the mental body (nāma-kāya; see nāma).

 

Buddhist Dictionary

by late Ven. Nyanalokita Thera:

kāya (lit: accumulation): 'group', 'body', may either refer to the physical body (rūpa-kāya) or to the mental body (nāma-kāya).

In the latter case it is either a collective name for the mental groups (feeling, perception, mental formations, consciousness; see khandha), or merely for feeling, perception and a few of the mental formations (see nāma), e.g. in kāya-lahutā, etc. (cf. Table II). Kāya has this same meaning in the standard description of the 3rd absorption (see jhāna) “and he feels joy in his mind or his mental constitution (kāya)”, and (e.g. Puggalapaññatti 1-8) of the attainment of the 8 deliverances (see vimokkha); “having attained the 8 deliverances in his mind, or his person (kāya).” - Kāya is also the 5th sense-organ, the body-organ; see āyatana, dhātu, indriya.
