Analysis and Synthesis

Post by Ceisiwr »

It has been said by the Theras that the methodology of the Blessed One was that of analysis and synthesis. Analysis breaks what seems like a whole being or self into parts, the dhammas, whilst synthesis shows how these ultimate realities are conditionally related to each other. Analysis abolishes atta and substance theories, whilst synthesis abolishes the delusion of permanence in what is impermanent. The Dhammasaṅgaṇī deals with analysis in terms of the dhammas, whilst the Paṭṭhāna is focused upon synthesis. The link below is a good resource for those who wish to learn about the Paṭṭhāna, the Abhidhamma text on conditional relations.

understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

This is the first of ten videos, about two hours each, from Bhikkhu Bodhi given in 2018:

Good and evil have no fixed form. It's as easy to turn from doing bad to doing good as it is to flip over the hand from the back to the palm. It's simply up to us to do it. Master Hsuan Hua.

This is a rather nice collection of videos on an introductory course to the Abhidhamma

Was Abhidhamma taught by the Buddha?
Hiriottappasampannā,
sukkadhammasamāhitā;
Santo sappurisā loke,
devadhammāti vuccare.

I was looking for the answer on how Patthāna can explain certain important points in DO via a more summarised way...now I found it. Thank you for sharing.

Will read this first before jumping into the Patthāna Mahapakarana...

Even it is not perfectly traditional, I wonder whether you would consider adding this https://highermindart.info/sdm_downloads/paramattha/ and perhaps this https://highermindart.info/sdm_download ... of-dhamma/ to the list?
