Thank you very much, Chris!

Dear Cooran & friends,

Anumodana for your Abhidhamma resources list! I mirrored it onto the German language http://www.dhamma-vinaya.de forum.

Here in Freising we now got a growing number of Abhidhamma students. Ven. Agganyani (http://www.abhidhamma.de) teaches an Introduction to Abhidhamma once a month to the locals.

These days we bhikkhus are actually reciting the Mahapatthana during the water festival - a new addendum to the Bavarian festival calendar and a wholesome counterpart to the beer festival in autumn.


Best wishes,

Thitadhammo

Theravada Emptiness: The Abhidhammic theory of Ajaan Sujin Boriharnwanaket– Matthew Kosuta (2007)

Ajaan Sujin, a prominent Thai lay teacher of Theravada Buddhism, interprets abhidhammic theory in a manner that, in my view, approaches the teachings of Emptiness as presented in the Prajñā-paramitā-sūtras and in the Madhyamaka-kārikā. This paper presents an overview of Ajaan Sujin’s teachings and compares them with Emptiness as expressed in the Diamond Sūtra, the Heart Sūtra, and the Madhyamaka-kārikā, as well as from a few well-known secondary sources. Core distinctions between the two theories do remain, primarily that for Ajaan Sujin dhammas do have characteristics and nibbāna is distinct from samsāra; thus I have termed Ajaan Sujin’s teachings ‘Theravada Emptiness’. While it may seem that these distinctions are too great to overcome in bridging the gap between abhidhammic theory and Emptiness, a direct comparison between the wording of certain sections and the overall correspondence of vocabulary, practice, and other conceptions, serves to narrow the divide created by these distinctions.

Hi all

is there somewhere online i can read the Abhidhamma in english - the same way i read the suttas on access on insight website ? i mean is there the original text - because the links you give if i understand are books about it but not the text itself - right ?

Not that I am aware of.

[purple planet]

Pali Text Society, almost the entire Pitaka translated in English
