Part 5 - The heart (hadaya vatthu rupa)

The hadaya vatthu rupa is the heart situated in the middle of the thorax where blood circulation initiates. The majority of cittas (consciousness) have their origin in this rupa.

Note:

We translate hadaya as “heart” but it is not the cardiac organ defined in anatomy.
