Appendix 3 - Appendix To Chapter 10

The javana-cittas which can be repetition-condition are the following:

• 8 lobha-mula-cittas, cittas rooted in attachment
• 2 dosa-mula-cittas, cittas rooted in aversion
• 2 moha-mula-cittas, cittas rooted in ignorance
• 8 maha-kusala cittas
• 8 maha-kiriyacittas
• 1 hasituppada-citta (ahetuka kiriyacitta, smile producing citta of the arahat)
• 5 rupavacara kusala cittas
• 5 rupavacara kiriyacittas
• 4 arupavacara kusala cittas
• 4 arupavacara kiriyacittas

In the process when jhana is attained there are after the mind-door adverting-consciousness, the mano-dvaravajjana-citta, first kamavacara cittas which are, in the case of non-arahats, maha-kusala cittas which experience the meditation subject through the mind-door. These cittas are:

• parikamma or preparatory consciousness
• upacara, which means proximity or access
• anuloma, conformity or adaptation
• gotrabhu, change-of-lineage, which overcomes the sense sphere

Each one of these is repetition-condition for the next one and the last maha-kusala citta in that process, the gotrabhu, conditions the jhana-citta by way of repetition-condition.

In the process during which enlightenment is attained, there are, after the mano-dvaravajjana-citta, first maha-kusala cittas accompanied by panna which clearly see the reality appearing at that moment as impermanent, dukkha or anatta. These maha-kusala are:

• parikamma, preparatory-consciousness
• upacara, proximity or access
• anuloma, conformity or adaptation
• gotrabhu or change-of-lineage

Each of these maha-kusala cittas is repetition-condition for the next one. The last maha-kusala-citta, the "change-of-lineage", arising before the magga-citta, conditions the magga-citta by way of repetition-condition but the magga-citta itself is not repetition-condition for the phala-citta. The phala-citta is not repetition-condition either.

Thus, there are 29 kamavacara cittas, cittas of the sense-sphere, and 18 jhanacittas which can be repetition-condition. The lokuttara kusala cittas, magga-cittas, and the lokuttara vipakacittas, phala-cittas, are excluded.
