In Buddhism, mental factors, often referred to as "cetasikas" in Pali or "mental formations," are the various states of mind and qualities that accompany consciousness. They play a crucial role in shaping our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Mental factors are essential in understanding how the mind functions and how it can lead to suffering or liberation. In the Theravada tradition, the Abhidhamma texts outline a detailed classification of these mental factors.
