    About this ebook

    This modern translation of the Abhidhammattha Sangaha (Manual of Abhidhamma) offers an introduction to Buddhism's fundamental philosophical psychology. Originally written in the 11th or 12th century, the Sangaha has served as the key to wisdom held in the Abhidhamma. Concisely surveyed are Abhidhamma's central themes, including states of consciousness and mental factors, the functions and processes of the mind, the material world, dependent arising, and the methods and stages of meditation. This presents an exact translation of the Sangaha alongside the original Pali text. A detailed, explanatory guide with more than 40 charts and tables lead readers through the complexities of Adhidhamma.

      Abhidhamma is one of the most fundamental study/reading for an accurate practice/understanding.
      Many, many times Buddhist monks speak about illusion, illusory, etc, and the listener mind feels an obscurity cause by the excess of not understanding... what in fact is illusory...
      Abhidhamma is composed by three fundamental versions where two are commentaries and explains this among many other elements.
      document that explains psyche where mind is far to be the centre of it.
      I will not go to say much more for do not reveal the so easy and beautiful secret inside this book, books.
