In Abhidhamma, Ultimate Truth (Reality) is In Abhidhamma, Ultimate Truth (Reality) is fourfold:fourfold:
1. Consciousness (citta)2. Mental Factors (cetasika) conditioned dhamma3. Matter (rpa)
4. Nibbāna unconditioned dhamma
![Page 9: Intro to Abhidhamma](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061601/5593512c1a28abb3028b45c4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CONSCIOUSNESS (citta)
• It is just awareness of an object. • Functions as a forerunner of mental factors
• It manifests as a continuity of processes. • Consciousness arises only in combination with mental factors• It arises at tremendous speed, each consciousness going
through the same 3 stages: arising (birth), static (decay) and dissolution (death)
• At any one moment, only one consciousness arise. • In conventional truth, one lives from conception to death,
however in the ultimate sense one lives only for one conscious moment.

Second through 6th javana generate
indefinitely effective kamma, which can
produce its effect at any time along samsara until one reaches Parinibbana
