Perfect — here’s the full Abhidhamma classification of cittas (consciousness moments) into 89 types.
This is a cornerstone of Theravāda Abhidhamma — it shows how many possible combinations of citta + cetasikas can occur.
They are divided by plane (loka) and by ethical quality (kusala, akusala, vipāka, kiriya).
These are cittas that arise in ordinary life through the five senses or mind-door.
🔴 Akusala Cittas (Unwholesome) – 12
Lobha-mūla (Rooted in Greed) – 8
4 accompanied by wrong view (diṭṭhi), 4 without
Each pair: prompted/unprompted
Dosa-mūla (Rooted in Hatred) – 2
With displeasure + ill-will (prompted/unprompted)
Moha-mūla (Rooted in Delusion) – 2
Doubt, Restlessness
🟢 Kusala Cittas (Wholesome) – 8
Wholesome cittas rooted in generosity, loving-kindness, wisdom
Each of the 8 can be prompted or unprompted
⚪ Vipāka Cittas (Resultant) – 23
Sense-consciousness cittas – 10
5 wholesome-resultant (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching)
5 unwholesome-resultant
Receiving consciousness – 2
Wholesome-resultant / unwholesome-resultant
Investigating consciousness – 3
Pleasant, neutral, or equanimous
Functional (kiriya) – 3
For arahants only — similar to above but produce no future kamma
Sense-door adverting – 1
Mind-door adverting – 1
Smile-producing (hasituppāda) – 1 (only in arahants)
⚪ Kiriya Cittas (Functional, Arahant-only) – 8
Wholesome-like cittas but not generating kamma
Same pattern as the 8 kāmāvacara kusala cittas, but purely functional
These are jhānic cittas with fine-material (form) meditation objects:

These are magga (path) and phala (fruition) cittas for the four stages of enlightenment:

Total: 4×2 = 8
54 (kāmāvacara) + 15 (rūpāvacara) + 12 (arūpāvacara) + 8 (lokuttara) = 89 cittas
Each of these 89 cittas is:
One citta-moment
With its own cetasika combination
Taking an object (ārammaṇa)
Arising due to conditions (kamma, sense-base, object, etc.)
They differ by:
Ethical quality (wholesome / unwholesome / neutral)
Sphere (sense, fine-material, immaterial, supramundane)
Function (producing kamma, giving vipāka result, or just functional for arahants)
Would you like me to make a chart/diagram grouping the 89 cittas (maybe color-coded: unwholesome, wholesome, resultant, functional) so you can visualize how they are distributed across the four planes?
