Dear Alex,
welcome here. Dr. Mehm Tin Mon is an excellent author, also quoted
on Dhammastudygroup list. Are you from Myanmar?

> 1) manodvaravajjana: mano: mind. Dvara: doorway. Avajjana: adverting.

There are five sense-doors and one doorway, the sixth is the mind-door.
There are processes or series of cittas experiencing different
objects through the six doorways. The first citta of such a process
adverts to the object. The manodvaravajjana citta is the first citta
of a mind-door process that adverts to the object through the mind-door.

> 2) somanassa-sahagatam nana-sampayuttam asankharika maha-kusala citta

--------
N: There are eight types of kusala cittas of the sense-sphere which
are associated with (sahagata) happy feeling (somanassa) or with
indifferent feeling (upekkhaa), accompanied by wisdom (~naana-
sampayutta) or without it (~naana-vippayutta), without prompting or
instigation (asa.nkhaarika) or with prompting (sasa.nkhaarika).
When the kusala citta is with prompting it is more sluggish, not as
strong as when it is spontaneous, without any prompting.
The term mahaa-kusala citta is reserved for the kusala cittas of the
sense-sphere.
I hope you will quote more of this excellent book.
Nina.
