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.
