Citta (Pali and Sanskrit: 𑀘𑀺𑀢𑁆𑀢, pronounced chitta) is one of three overlapping terms used in the Nikaya to refer to the mind, the others being manas and viññāṇa. Each is sometimes used in the generic and non-technical sense of "mind" in general, and the three are sometimes used in sequence to refer to one's mental processes as a whole.[1] However, their primary uses are distinct.[2]
