>bua observes the essential enduring truth of the sentient being as constituted of the indestructible reality of thecitta(heart/mind). He has stated that as long as there is a nucleus of a Know-er (i.e. a 'self or Self' that knows) or nucleus of knowing-ness, thecittais not free. This nucleus is the 'Ultimate Danger' because of its alluring radiance that causes attachment.The nucleus of a Know-er within thecitta, by extension, also makes thecittathe Ultimate Danger because it is still not free of all defilements. The Ultimate Danger disguises itself as the Ultimate Virtue. The nucleus within thecittahas many aspects, all of which are subject to being known and therefore subject to change. Upon being known, the known aspect of the nucleus ceases and another takes its place.[5]When the perception ofanatta(not-self) is applied to this nucleus, the agitatedcittabecomes calm and impassive with no interest in eitheratta(self) or anatta (not-self). At this moment, the perception of anatta causes the nucleus of the Know-er and knowing to 'flip over', and upon being let go it is totally destroyed, along with the ignorance that causes beings to wander insamsara.[6]>thiscitta, which is intrinsically bright, clear, and aware, gets superficially tangled up insamsarabut ultimately cannot be destroyed by any samsaric phenomenon. Although Bua is often at pains to emphasise the need for meditation upon the non-Self (anatta), he also points out that thecitta, while getting caught up in the vortex of conditioned phenomena, is not subject to destruction as are those things which are impermanent, suffering, and non-Self (anicca,dukkha,anatta). The citta is ultimately not beholden to these laws of conditioned existence. Thecittais bright, radiant, and deathless, and is its own independent reality
