Dear Dimitri,
thank you for the articles and for the sutta text. I would like to add
something.
Consciousness is the principal, the leader, in cognizing the object, and the
cognizing of consciousness is different from perceiving¹ by saññaa which
marks¹ or recognizes the object.
In Vis XIV, 3, perception has been compared to a child that sees a coin
without discretion, and citta has been compared to a villager who knows more
about the characteristics of the coin. Whereas pañña is like a money changer
who knows everything, all details, of the coin.
This simile helps to understand different levels of knowing.
Nina.
