interpenetrative

Mutually penetrative (overlapping each other in space)

Merging together into a continuous whole.

The Building of the Sangha The Buddha later gave another sermon to his small, select audience, this time on the five so-called skandhas – form, feeling, conception, dispositions and consciousness – the interpenetrative ways in which we perceive the material world and the world presents itself to us (a theme to which I shall return later).
