Abhidhamma

The Profundity of the Abhidhamma

Abhidhamma, a psychological and philosophical discourse, is a unique teaching of the Buddha. In this teaching the Buddha analyzed mainly mind and matter which are the ultimate phenomena in this world. The study of Abhidhamma enables us to purify our view, because the purification of view can be attained only by seeing mind and matter as they really are.

Theravāda is a principle or belief of the venerable elder Buddhist monks. In Theravāda Buddhism, the exact words of Buddha have not been extended or subtracted or removed from the original teachings.

Abhidhamma can be seen as a philosophy of individual or ultimate truth.
