vacci sankhara - vitakka and viccara

upekka

in Lord Buddha's Teaching it is said Sankhara (volitional activities/kamma formation/thanha-upadan/thinking/cetana) can be devided into

punnabhi, apunnabhi and anenjabi sankhara in one place

and

kaya sankhara, citta sankhara and vacci sankhara in another place

can anyone explain (of cause to one's understanding-at worldlings level or a higher state if possible)

thank you in advance

Okay, I'll give'er a shot!

Sankhara may mean formations dependent on conditions and/or things upon which other things depend.

Therefor, punnabhi, apunnabhi and anenjabi sankhara may be considered as formations dependent on conditions and/or upon which other things depend - that appear wholesome (punnabhi), unwholesome (apunnabhi) or that which leads to wholesome arupajhana (anenjabi).

and

Kaya, citta and vacci sankhara as formations dependent on conditions and/or upon which other things depend - that appear as body or form (kaya), mind or conciousness (citta) and speech (vacci)

sankhara here does not mean condition or fabrication but instead conditioner or fabricator

the breathing in & out is the body conditioner

applied & sustained thought are the verbal conditioner

perception & feeling are the mind conditioner

the state of the breathing directly conditions the state of the physical body

the state of thoughts conditions speech

perception & feeling condition craving, defilements, mental proliferation, etc...

this we can observe through meditation
