Dear Piya,
Desire for self advertisement. This is an expression concerning the
citta. The word self in self advertisement is not to be seen as wrong
view of self. The lobhamuulacitta citta with conceit is always
without wrong view, di.t.thigata vippayutta. Wrong vew and conceit
have different objects, they never go toigether.
Citta is translated here as heart, we can think of the Thai
expression cai.
Nina.
