Mind Door
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Then there are bhavanga-cittas and the last two of these, arising before the object is experienced through the mind-door, are specifically designated by a name. The process runs as follows:
bhavanga calana (vibrating bhavanga)
bhavangupaccheda (which is in this case the mind-door through which the cittas of the mind-door process will experience the object)
mind-door-adverting-ccnsciousnes (mano-dvaravajjana-citta)
7 javanacitta
2 tadarammana-cittas (which may or may not arise) .
After the mind-door process has been completed there are bhavanga-cittas again.
