Do we have to learn Abhidhamma to gain Wisdom?
Re: Do we have to learn Abhidhamma to gain Wisdom?
Again, more superficial unproven unevidenced ideas.
The Abdhidhamma can be contrary to the suttas, such as its explanation of sankhara in Dependent Origination, where it uses "sankharo" as singular while sutta uses "sankhara" as plural. Simple differences such as this shows Abhidhamma can be a different doctrine.
It is best to have discussion based on reality, truth & evidence rather than mere unfactual sectarian prejudices.
There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

Thousands didn't. They only listened to the Buddha with careful attention.
Now during his utterance, the hearts of those thousand bhikkhus were liberated from taints through clinging no more.

And what is right speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, & from idle chatter: This is called right speech.
