Citta, Mano, Viññāṇa by Bhante Punnaji Question, Bhante, Could you please elaborate more about the citta(emotional mind) What is emotional minds? And what is the mano (the thinking mind )and what is the difference between the citta and mano? Answer, Well, I have to, we have to start by realizing that we are what are called organisms in an environment, Our body is like a machine, the body is an organism in an environment, so when we talk about the mind, mind is not a thing separate from the body, what we call the mind is an activity of the body and In modern scientific terminology, we have three words, that the Buddha used, Citta, mano, viññāṇa Our body is made of five senses, the eyes, the ears, the nose, the tongue, and the body, itself as a sense organ When Light falls on eyes, we see, when sound’s coming to the ears we hear, when smell is coming to the nose, we smell, when taste is coming to the tongue, we taste, and when touch is coming to body, we feel the touch, These are the senses which are stimulated by the environment and the senses react to the stimulus. And The reaction of senses to the stimulus is what is called seeing hearing smelling tasting touching, and these things have a name called perception, eye perception, ear perception, nose perception, tongue perception, body perception, that perception The Buddha called viññāṇa, the word that the Buddha used was viññāṇa is the perception. Now What is perceived is carried to the brain through nerves, the optic nerve carries message from the eye to the brain, the auditory now carries messages from the ear to the brain, the fragrant now carries message from the nose to the brain and so on. There are nerves carrying which is like telephone wires carrying messages from the senses to the brain, and the brain, there is a part of the brain called the cerebrum or the cerebral cortex that does the thinking, that is what the Buddha called Mano, what the Buddha called Mano is the thinking part of the brain, and the thinking part gives meaning to what was seen or heard or smelled or tasted or touched and according to the meaning given, an emotion is aroused in the form of a desire or hatred or fear or worrying, these are emotional excitement that emotional arousal is the citta so the citta is the emotional arousal, but the arousal is called citta vega, Vega means the emotional arousal but the emotional state is what we call in English the mood or the temperament that is emotional state, so the emotional state can be excited or it can be calm and tranquil. Normally the emotions are come but when it is excited there is desire or a hatred or fear or a worry, and when the emotions are excited that is expressed in action in speech or in behavior that action part is what is called kamma or karma. What is call karma is the behavior part now in this behavior part there is a difference between the animals and the human being, now for example, a dog, when some stranger comes the dog will begin to bark, now the human being has the this ability to think and decide whether to act emotionally with anger or fear or you can also act calmly and talk to the stranger so that ability is for the human being and that the ability is what is called cetana or willpower, the human being has this willpower or cetana, this is why the Buddha said the real karma is in that cetana the decision that you make before you begin to act.

"You can change your emotions by changing the way you think." 448. Cittena nīyati loko, cittena parikassati, The world is led on by the mind, by the mind it is swept away, Cittassa ekadhammassa sabbe va vasam-anvagū. They all follow the authority of that one thing: the mind.
