Source: Journey to Nibbana: Patthana Dhama7 Sabbacittasadharana cetasikas
Sabba means all, citta means consciousness, sadharana means treating or dealing with. So sabbacittasadharana cetasikas are cetasikas that deal with all cittas.
They are
- phassa
- vedana
- sanna
- cetana
- ekaggata
- jivitindriya
- manasikara
These 7 cetasikas namely phassa or contact, vedana or feeling, sanna or perception, cetana or volition, ekaggata or one pointedness, jivitindriya or mental life, manasikara or attention always arise with each arising citta. They can arise with all kinds of citta, kusala or akusala or abyakata, lokiya or lokuttara, kama or jhana and any citta possible arises along with these 7 cetasikas. So these 7 cetasikas are called sabbacittasadharana cetasikas.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
