citta

citta

'mind', 'consciousness', 'state of consciousness', is a synonym of mano (q.v.) and vin~n~a^na (s. khandha and Tab. 1). Dhs. divides all phenomena into consciousness (citta), mental concomitants (cetasika, q.v.) and corporeality (rúpa).

In adhicitta, 'higher mentality', it signifies the concentrated, quietened mind, and is one of the 3 trainings (s. sikkha^). The concentration (or intensification) of consciousness is one of the 4 roads to power (s. iddhipa^da).
