Triune mind, triune brain

Theoretical model developed by Canadian Buddhist scholar Suwanda H. J. Sugunasiri

Triune mind, triune brain is a theoretical model developed by Canadian Buddhist scholar Suwanda H. J. Sugunasiri. It follows upon his clarification of the three terms used by the Buddha for consciousness, namely, Mano, Citta and Viññāṇa as can be seen in his work on the triune mind. Looking into the fields of Pali Buddhism, neuroscience, anthropology, linguistics, and embryology, among others, the overall thrust of this research moves toward a formalization and scientific refinement, done by assimilating functions of the mind as known in the Sutta and the Abhidamma with structures of the brain according to evolutionary biology.
