Re: are dhammas conditioned or unconditioned, and are they experienced?
I have personally wasted lots of time on Abhidhammattasangaho and I am not any wiser. The purpose of any such study is to achieve dispassion and wisdom of anicca, dukkha, anatta. It is difficult to be smart enough to know when you are obsessed too much on these catalogue of 89 and not able to compre...

Re: Abhidhamma View : Determination
Life is so absorbing, enchanting and engulfing. Good luck to you. Learn Anapana Sati to begin with. Purify your ditthi. Keep smiling, be gentle in speech and action and follow essential Sila.
