Description
The Theravada Abhidhamma Its Inquiry Into the Nature of Conditioned Reality by Y. Karunadasa is a clear and concise explanation of the fundamental principles of Buddhist thought. This volume delves into the nature of reality, examining the concept of dhamma theory, which describes the bare phenomena that form our world of experience. Karunadasa explores the Abhidhamma perspective, arguing that only dhammas are real, and that anything other than these basic phenomena is a conceptual construct. He discusses various topics, including the theory of double truth, the analysis of mind, and the nature of time and space. The book concludes with an appendix examining why the Theravada came to be known as Vibhajjavada, "the doctrine of analysis." By exploring the underlying premises and purposes of the Abhidhamma, Karunadasa provides a detailed description of reality in order to identify its sources of suffering and their antidotes. This volume is suitable for serious students of Buddhist thought seeking a lucid explanation of the Theravada Abhidhamma system.
