sn41.6:1.1 At one time Venerable Kāmabhū was staying near Macchikāsaṇḍa in the Wild Mango Grove.
sn41.6:1.2 Then Citta the householder went up to Venerable Kāmabhū, sat down to one side, and said to him:
sn41.6:1.3 “Sir, how many processes are there?”
sn41.6:1.4 “Householder, there are three processes.
sn41.6:1.5 The physical process, the verbal process, and the mental process.”
sn41.6:1.6 Saying “Good, sir,” Citta approved and agreed with what Kāmabhū said. Then he asked another question:
sn41.6:1.7 “But sir, what is the physical process? What’s the verbal process? What’s the mental process?”
sn41.6:1.8 “Breathing is a physical process. Placing the mind and keeping it connected are a verbal process. Perception and feeling are a mental process.”
