Cetasika means belonging to the mind. It is a mental factor which
accompanies consciousness (citta) and experiences an object. There
are 52 cetasikas. This book gives an outline of each of these 52
cetasikas and shows the relationship they have with each other. It
will help the student have more understanding of the intricate
operations of the mind enabling the development of good qualities
and the eventual eradication of all defilements. It will help to
understand that citta and cetasika act according to their own
conditions and that an abiding agent (soul or self) is not to be
found. The book assumes some previous knowledge of Buddhism.
