Glossary of Buddhism

Kammaññatā (Pali) is a Buddhist term translated as "wieldiness", and it is the basis for the following pair of mental factors within the Theravada Abhidharma teachings:

  • Kāya-kammaññatā - wieldiness of mental body (or "wieldiness of cetasikas")
  • Citta-kammaññatā - wieldiness of consciousness (or "wieldiness of citta")

These two mental factors have the characteristic of the subsiding of unwieldiness (akammaññabhāva) in the mental body and consciousness, respectively.
