Function of Javana
When we see, hear, smell, taste, experience an object through the body-
sense or through the mind-door, there is not only one citta experiencing the
object through the appropriate doorway, but a series or process of cittas.
A rupa which impinges on one of the senses is experienced by a series of
cittas. When that sense-door process is over, the object is experienced by
cittas through the mind-door. Sense-door processes and mind-door processes
arise and fall away continuously.
This series or process of cittas which arise through the sense door process or the mind door process are called javana cittas.
This series or process of cittas which arise through the sense door process or the mind door process are called javana cittas.
