Pāguññatā

Pāguññatā (Pali) is a Buddhist term translated as "proficiency", and it is the basis for the following pair of mental factors within the Theravada Abhidharma teachings:

  • Kāya-pāguññatā - proficiency of mental body (or proficiency of cetisakas)
  • Citta-pāguññatā - proficiency of consciousness (or proficiency of citta)

These two mental factors have the characteristic of healthiness of the mental body and consciousness, respectively.
