Part 5 - The heart (hadaya vatthu rupa)

< Previous

Next >

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.
