In dependent origination name and form is described as follows :
> “And what, bhikkhus, is name-and-form? Feeling, perception, volition,
> contact, attention: this is called name. The four great elements and
> the form derived from the four great elements: this is called form.
> Thus this name and this form are together called name-and-form.
The name and form arises due to vinnana or consciousness. After name and form six senses arise. After six senses , contact arises. After contact , feelings arise.
However in the definition of name and form , name involves contact and feelings as shown in the above quote.
How can feeling and contact describe name and form when feeling and contact occur after name and form?
