색계 작용만 하는 마음(팔리어: rūpāvacara-kriyācittāni 루-빠-와짜라 끼리야- 찟따-니, 영어: fine-material-sphere functional consciousness)은 특히 상좌부의 교학과 아비담마 그리고 수행에서 사용하는 용어로, 붓다를 포함한 아라한만이 가지는 무탐·무진·무치의 3선근 모두와 함께하는 다음 5가지 색계에서의 마음을 말한다.[1][2]아라한의 마음은 오직 진여의 무분별지를 발현하여 작용할 뿐 그 작용이 끝나고 나면 곧바로 소멸하여 후유를 낳을 어떠한 단서 즉 어떠한 집착 또는 욕망도 남기지 않기 때문에 오직 선한(유익한) 작용만 할 뿐 선업도 쌓지 않아 후유를 낳지 않는다.[3][4]
일으킨 생각 · 지속적 고찰 · 희열 · 행복 · 집중이 함께하는 초선의 작용만 하는 마음
또한 위의 각각의 항목에서 '지혜와 함께한다'는 표현이 없지만 욕계에서 색계초선으로, 즉, 더 상위의 계로 들어가기 위해서는 지혜(인과에 대한 이해와 그 이해에 의거한 노력)가 없이는 불가능하다. 욕계를 제외한 모든 계 즉 색계·무색계·출세간의 마음은 무탐·무진·무치의 3선근 모두와 함께한다.[5]
1. First jhāna functional consciousness together with initial application, sustained
application, zest, happiness, and one-pointedness.
2. Second jhāna functional consciousness together with sustained application, zest,
happiness, and one-pointedness.
3. Third jhāna functional consciousness together with zest, happiness, and onepointedness.
4. Fourth jhāna functional consciousness together with happiness and one-pointedness.
5. Fifth jhāna functional consciousness together with equanimity and one-pointedness.
These are the five types of fine-material-sphere functional consciousness.
Thus end, in all, the fifteen types of fine-material-sphere wholesome, resultant,
and functional consciousness.

Fine-material-sphere consciousness (rūpāvacaracittāni): This sphere of
consciousness includes all the cittas that “move about in” or pertain to the fine-material
plane of existence (rūpabhūmi), the realms in which gross matter is absent and only a
subtle residue of matter remains. Rebirth into these realms is achieved by the attainment
of the meditative states called jhānas,34 high attainments in the development of
concentration (samādhi). The states of consciousness that “frequent” this plane,
inasmuch as they are qualitatively connected to it, are called “fine-material-sphere
consciousness.”
Fifteen cittas fall into this category — five wholesome, five resultants, and five
functional. The wholesome fine-material-sphere cittas are experienced by worldlings
(puthujjana) and trainees (sekha) who develop the jhānas within this life itself. Their
corresponding results (vipāka) arise only in the fine-material world, in the beings who
have been reborn there as a consequence of developing the jhānas. The five functional
(kiriya / kriyā) jhāna cittas are experienced only by Arahants who attain the jhānas.
34 Sometimes also called rūpajjhānas, “fine-material absorptions,” to distinguish them from the
arūpajjhānas which follow.

Guide to §15 Sense-sphere functional consciousness with roots (sahetuka-kāmāvacarakriyācittāni): Whereas the eight wholesome sense-sphere cittas arise in worldlings
(puthujjana) and trainees (sekha), they do not arise in Buddhas and Arahants, who have
transcended the cycle of kamma and future becoming in the realms of rebirth. However,
in Buddhas and Arahants, there arise eight types of consciousness that are their exact
counterparts. These are called “kriyā” (or “kiriya”),33 or “functional cittas,” because they
merely perform their functions without leaving any karmic deposit. Because a Buddha or
an Arahant has eradicated all traces of ignorance (avijjā) and craving (taṇhā), the causes
of rebirth, there is no way his good actions could generate future results. They merely
arise, accomplish some function, and then fall away without residue.
33Kiriya (or kriyā) citta, “functional consciousness” or “karmically inoperative consciousness,” is the name
for such states of consciousness that are neither karmically wholesome (kusala), nor unwholesome
(akusala), nor kamma-results (vipāka); that is, they function independently of kamma. Thus are also called
all those worldly mental states in the Arahant that are accompanied by two or three noble roots (non-greed,
non-hatred, non-delusion), being karmically neutral in an Arahant and corresponding to the karmically
wholesome states of a non-Arahant, as well as the rootless joy-producing (hasituppāda) mindconsciousness-
element of an Arahant; further, that mind-element (mano-dhātu) that performs the function
of adverting (āvajjana) to the sense object, and that mind-consciousness element (manoviññāṇa-dhātu) that
performs the function of deciding (votthapana) and adverting to the mental object. The last-named two
elements, of course, occur in all beings.
Together with kamma-resultant consciousness (vipāka), it belongs to the group of “karmically
neutral consciousness” (abyākata). Cf. Nyanatiloka, Buddhist Dictionary: Manual of Buddhist Terms and
Doctrines (fourth revised edition [1980]), pp. 103—104.

Mahā-kusala cittas arise when ordinary worldlings (puthujjanas)
and noble persons with the exception of arahants perform meritorious
deeds such as dāna (alms-giving), sīla (morality) and bhāvanā (meditation).
Mahā-vipāka cittas are the kamma-results of mahā-kusala cittas
of past lives. They function as paṭisandhi-citta (rebirth consciousness),
bhavaṅga-citta (life-continuing consciousness) and cuti-citta (death
consciousness) in human beings and devas in their present lives.
Mahā-kiriya cittas arise in arahants when they perform meritorious
deeds. Arahants have no attachment to anything. They expect no
rewards from their wholesome deeds. So their kiriya-cittas are just
functional and will not bear any kamma-results in future lives. Arahants
do not have future lives.

Guide to §21 The five jhānas become of fifteen types by occurring as wholesome cittas, as
resultants, and as functionals. Each jhāna citta of the same level is defined by the same
set of factors, whether wholesome (kusala), resultant (vipāka), or functional (kiriya /
kriyā). All cittas of the fine-material sphere (rūpāvacara) are associated with knowledge
(ñāṇasampayutta), though knowledge, not being a specific jhāna factor, is not mentioned
in the formulas. Thus, all the fine-material-sphere cittas have three roots: (1) non-greed
(alobha); (2) non-hatred (adosa); and (3) non-delusion (amoha).
