Re: What is the difference of Vinnana, Nana and Panna?
Greetings Sarath,
Nana is generally translated as knowledge, and panna as wisdom. Whilst those English definitions have subtle shades of difference in meaning, I cannot confirm without looking it up, whether they're intended in the Pali.
Vinnana, consciousness, is a different concept altogether.

"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

I believe it has the same root, however, and a shared sense of knowing or cognising.retrofuturist wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 8:59 pm Greetings Sarath,
