Chapter 3: Pakiṇṇaka










Chapter 3: Pakiṇṇaka 
Introduction
                                                                                              (1) In this Chapter Citta and Cetasikawill be classified by way of the following 6 points:
        (a)       Feelings         (Vedanā),
        (b)       Roots              (Hetu),           
        (c)       Functions       (Kiccā),
        (d)       Doors             (Dvārā),
        (e)       Objects           (Ārammaṇā), and
        (f)        Bases              (Vatthu).
(2) There are 53 Associated Mental Phenomena which will deal in this Chapter. They run as follows:
            (a)       Citta                (01)
            (b)       Cetasika         (52)
            All together               (53)
According to their intrinsic nature (sabhāva) the Associated mental phenomena (citta and cetasika) are 53. Regarding this the 89 Cittas are counted "one". Because they all have the same characteristic, the awareness of an object. But the Cetasikas are 52, because they have their own characteristic each.
(I) Classification of Feeling
(3) Feeling (vedanā) is a Universal cetasika which has the characteristic of feeling or experience of the object. In Abhidhamma feeling is analyzed into two ways - by way intrinsic nature (Anubhāva-naya), and by way of the governing faculty (indriya).
(A)
By way of the intrinsic nature the feeling is threefold:
(a)
Pleasant feeling
(Sukha),
(b)
Painful feeling
(Dukkha),
(c)
Feeling that is neither painful nor pleasant
(Adukkhamasukha)
(B)
By way of the governing faculty the feeling is fivefold:
(a)
Pleasure
(Sukha),
(b)
Pain
(Dukkha),
(c)
Joy
(Somanassa),
(d)
Displeasure
(Domanassa), and
(e)
Neutral feeling
(Upekkhā)

Classification of Citta through associated "feeling"
(4)      According to the three types of feeling Citta must be classified thus:

(a)       Citta with pleasure                                     (sukha-sahagata citta)        (63)
(b)       Citta with pain                                            (dukkha-sahagata citta)     (03)
(c)       Citta with neither-pleasure-nor-pain                                                       (55)
            All together                                                                                                 (121)
According to the fivefold feeling Citta must be classified thus:
(a)       Citta with pleasure                                     (sukha-sahagata)                 (01)
(b)       Citta with pain                                             (dukkha-sahagata)              (01)
(c)       Citta with joy                                               (somanassa-sahagata)        (62)
(d)       Citta with displeasure                                (domanassa-sahagata)        (02)
(c)       Citta with neutral feeling                             (upekkhā-sahagata)         (55)
            All together                                                                             (121)


Citta with pleasure is 1
Body-consciousness with pleasure (01)

Citta with pain is 1
Body-consciousness with pain       (01)

Cittas with joy are 62
Lobhamūla with pleasure                (04)
Ahetuka with pleasure                     (02)
Kāma sobhana with pleasure          (12)
The First Jhāna                                 (11)
The Second Jhāna                            (11)
The Third Jhāna                               (11)
The  Fourth Jhāna                            (11)

Cittas with displeasure are 2
Dosamula                                          (02)

Cittas with neutral feeling are 55
Akusala with neutral feeling           (06)
Ahetuka with neutral feeling          (14)
KāmaSobhana with neutral feeling (12)
The Fifth Jhana                                 (23)
            *Note: By way of the three types of feeling the Cittas with Pleasure are 63, by adding those Cittas with pleasure and with joy together. And the Cittas with pain are 3, by adding those Cittas with pain and with displeasure together.

(II) CLASSIFICATION OF ROOTS
(1) Roots are all Cetasikas which are analyzed into 6 By way of their intrinsic nature, namely:
(a) Lobha (greed)
(b) Dosa (hatred)
(c) Moha (delusion)
(d) Alobha (non-greed)
(e) Adosa (non-hatred) and
(f) Amoha (non-delusion).
            But by way of species (jāti) they are 9. They are:
(a) Wholesome Roots (kusala hetu) are 3: Alobha, Adosa, and Amoha.
(b) Unwholesome Roots (akusala hetu) are 3:  Lobha, Dosa, and Moha.
(c) Indeterminate Roots (abyākata hetu) are 3: Alobha. Adosa, and Amoha.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

CLASSIFICATION OF DOORS
(1)   There are 6 doors through which citta interacts with the objective world. They are as follows:
(a) eye door               (cakkhudvāra)
(b) ear door               (sotadvāra)
(c) nose door             (ghānadvāra)
(d) tongue door         (jivhādvāra)
(e) body door            (kāyadvāra)  
(f) mind door            (manodvāra)
Therein the eye itself is the "eye door"; and so for the other.  But the life-continuum is called "mind-door"


CITTAS ARE CLASSIFIED THROUGH THEIR DOORS
Through doors cittas are to be classified thus:

Cittas in eye-door are 46
Cittas that arise in eye-door are 46. They are mentioned according to the order of thought process. They are as follows:
(a)    Five door adverting consciousness        (01)
(b)    Eye-consciousness                                   (02)
(c)    Receiving consciousness                        (02)
(d)    Investigating consciousness                   (03)
(e)    Determining consciousness                    (01)
(f)     Kāma javana                                             (29)
(g)    Registration (11)                                      (08)
            Note: Cittas in ear-door mostly similar to the cittas in eye-door  except  the 2 cittas, eye-consciousness, which are specially in eye-door. Therefore we should note that "ear-consciousness" is only in ear-door; nose-consciousness is only in nose-door; tongue-consciousness is only in tongue-door; body-consciousness is in body-door. The other cittas general to all.

Cittas in mind-door are 67.
Cittas that arise in mind-door are 67. They are mentioned according to the order of thought process. They are as follows:
(a) Mind-door adverting consciousness (01)
(b) Javana cittas (55)
(c) Registration (11)

Cittas that are door-free are 19
19 types of Rebirth- linking  consciousness are  door-free".

CITTAS IN DIFFERENT DOORS
Citttas in One door are 36
            Cittas which arise in one door are 36. They are as follows:
            (a)       Sense consciousness             (10)
            (b)       Appanā javanas                    (26)
Note: The ten types of sense consciousness are each in their own door as eye-consciousness is in eye-door, and son on. And Appanā Javanas are in mind-door.

Cittas in 5 doors are 3
(a)       Receiving consciousness                            (02)
(b)       Five-door adverting consciousness           (01)

-------------------------------------------------------------
CLASSIFICATION OF OBJECTS
            There are 6 kinds of objects corresponding to the 6 senses. They are as follows:
(a)       Visible object            (rūpārammaṇa),
(b)       Sound                         (saddārammaṇa),
(c)       Smell                          (gandhārammaṇa),

(e)       Tangible                     (photthabbārammaṇa), and
(f)        Mental object            (dhammārammaṇa).

            Definining of objects
            Therein, visible form itself is visible object. Likewise, sound, etc., are sound object, etc. But mental object is sixfold:
(a)       Sensitive matter (pasādarūpa)        (05),
(b)       Shuttle matter (sukhumarūpa)        (16),
(c)       Consciousness (citta)                       (89),
(d)       Mental factors (cetasikas)               (52),
(e)       Nibbāna                                             (01), and
(f)        Concepts (Paññatti)                          (01).

Note: ārammaṇa = where cittas delight in,          ālambaṇa = where cittas hang on to.

Classification of Cittas through their objects (general)
Cittas in eye-door, etc.
            There are 46 cittas which arise in eye door. They have only one object as visible object that pertains only to the present. Likewise, sounds, etc., that pertain only to the present are the object of the Cittas in ear-door, etc.

Citlas in mind-door
            There are 67 cittas which arise in mind-door. They have one of all six kinds of objects. And they are present, past, future, or independent of time, according to circumstances,

Cittas door-free
            There are 19 cittas which are door-free. They have the six objects which are mentioned as 3 by their special terms:
(a)       volitional action                   (kamma)
(b)       sign  of volitional action     (kammanimitta)
(c)       sign of destiny                       (gatinimitta)
            According to the situation that object has usually been apprehended in one of in the six doors in the immediately preceding existence, as either a present or past or as a concept.

Classification of cittas through their objects (special)
            To classify in special way there are 4 types of the six kinds of objects. They are as follows:
(a)       sense-sphere objects            (kāmāvacarārammaṇa)
(b)       Sublime objects                    (mahaggata)
(c)       concept object                       (paññatti), and

CLASSIFICATION OF BASES
(1) There are 6 Bases depending on which citta arises. They are as follows:
(a)    eye-base (cakkhu - vatthu)
(b)    ears base (sota - vatthu)
(c)    nose-base (ghānā - vatthu)
(d)    tongue-base (jivhā - vatthu)
(e)    body-base (kāyā - vatthu)
(f)     Heart-base (hadaya-vatthu) 
Note:  All these bases are found in the sense world. But in the fine-material world, 3 bases-nose, tongue and body are not found. In the immaterial world, no bases exist

7 Elements of Cittas
(a)    element of eye -consciousness          (cakkhuviññāṇadhātu)
(b)    element of ear-consciousness             (sotaviññāṇadhātu)
(c)    element of nose-consciousness         (ghānaviññāṇadhātu)
(d)    element of tongue-consciousness     (jivhāviññāṇadhātu)
(e)    element of body-consciousness        (kāyāviññāṇadhātu)
(f)     element of mind                                   (manodhātu)
(g)    element of mind-consciousness        (manoviññāṇadhātu)
           
In sense plane, there are 7 elements which are dependent on the 6 bases; in fine-material plane, 4 elements are dependent on 3 bases; in the immaterial plane, one element is not dependent on any base.
