[SoftrermaBioniaSat]

my explanation is:

Vinnana is sense consciousness, which operates with the sense organs so the mind can be conscious of sense objects. therefore, there are six kinds of consciousness, namely, eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness & mind consciousness

Mano is often used for the mind as a sense organ. for example, in the sense sphere triad of mind (mano), mind consciousness (mano vinnana) & mind objects (dhammas), the word 'mano' is used

just as the mind requires the ear as a sense organ to experience sounds, the mind requires mano as a sense organ to experience its own creations (i.e., feelings, perceptions, thoughts, emotions, mental images, etc). so 'mano' is possibly best described as 'knowing'

Citta is the mind-heart. it is probably the same as sankhara khandha. citta is that which creates defilements, thoughts & emotions, such as greed, hatred, delusion, fear, love, compassion, etc

citta is that which is defiled. citta is that which is enlightened & liberated

so using consciousness (vinnana) as a vehicle for knowing (mano), the citta gains enlightenment

anyway, these are just some spontaneous views, mostly unrelated to any theory of I have learned
