Did You Know?
In Buddhist philosophy, cetanā (consciousness/intention) is one of the five aggregates (skandhas) that make up a person. The Buddha said "Cetanā is karma" — consciousness IS action. In Jainism, cetana (consciousness) is the defining attribute of the soul. Two of India's greatest philosophical traditions built their entire frameworks around this word.
