Yes. Our bodies are “vipaka kaya” dependently originated.
– Furthermore, they are built around a manomaya kaya which arises due to kammic energies created by our (javana) citta!
(A manomaya kaya (made of suddhatthaka) arises due to kammic energy created by our javana citta. Then the physical body grows according to that blueprint with energy from the food we eat.)
Thus, our physical bodies are not only dependently originated but originated via our minds.
– It is somewhat like a magician’s work.
– That is why kamma vinnana (in javana citta) is like a magician. Something created by a magician is flimsy!
