Answer by Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena for Is the term " mind " another way of describing awareness?

If you take Namarupa according to the Skandha classification the following falls under Nama (mind)

  • feelings
  • perceptions
  • mental formations
  • consciousness.

You know or are aware due to consciousness but there other 3 items which form the mind. Also awareness is the fucntion of consciousness and not consciousness itself. So awareness is not mind.
