Sathara Paramartha Dharma Viggrahaya

The script of the Buddha’s teachings is classified into three (3) main sections - Sutta Vinaya and Abhidhamma. What the Sutta and Vinaya both contain are included in one form in Abhidhamma text. Sathara Paramartha Dharma is a concept discussed widely in the Abhidhamma. The Abhidhamma is said to have been delivered by the Buddha to his mother who was reborn as a celestial being. Indra Weeraman attempts to analyse four (4) core concepts found in Abhidhamma. In Pali Abhidhamma these four (4) concepts are known as Rupa (28 in number) Chaitasika (52) Chittha and Nibbana. Weeraman’s work will be a useful guide to anyone interested in the philosophical perspective of Buddhism.
