Re: what is difference between suttas and Abhidamma

I have no qualms in voicing my aversion to a lot of the commentarial/Abhidhamma tradition. At the same time you can almost taste the disdain that the suttas are regarded by some Abhidhammists but they just don't have the nerve to say it out loud 🐭 🐭 🐭 😱 I don’t think Abhidhammikas have disdain for ...

Re: what is difference between suttas and Abhidamma

.. thanks for correcting user Onetheway improper claim that the Suttas alone aren't enough to penetrate dhamma. I think you are putting words in my mouth. In most cases and especially today where parami is much weaker, the Dhamma is deep and difficult to penetrate. The Dhamma is for only for the Wi...

Re: what is difference between suttas and Abhidamma

Another analogy is listening to music and being an educated musician with full knowledge in music theory, the structure and notation of music, different beats, timings and measures, the different keys and steps, progressions of chords scales, and other patterns, etc. Here a listener to music would b...

Re: what is difference between suttas and Abhidamma

Many scholars also agree that the Abhidhamma Pitaka was a later addition to the original teachings that gradual developed over several centuries. This is not only evident from the fact that the Abhidhamma utilizes words that are found nowhere else in the Canon Well, I would guess that some sutta ni...

Re: what is difference between suttas and Abhidamma

It is good to understand the Abhidhamma as a course in Chemistry and the Suttas as a Cooking class. You really need both to make 10,000 Oreo cookies. My Chemistry Professor used to do consulting for big food companies. He told me that you cannot just multiply a recipe by 1000 and get the desired res...

Re: New Features added to TPP

There seems to be a bug in the firefox version which no longer has proper Pali searching (accidentally broken by english search). I'll keep you here when it is fixed.

Re: Where to find the commentaries?

TPP will show you the organization of the commentaries in treeview form. Also there is a dictionary called UPED which can help you read the commentaries. I recently posted this in the pali section: https://www.dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=42486 The commentaries are organized to point to ...

Re: Video To Justify The Existence Of The Commentaries

Yes Paul, Your comment was fine.. I jumped the gun based on previous other people's responses. There are instructions, but it is just a framework bullet points for memorization that relies on expansion and details. Another problem not discussed much is the abbreviated "pe" format of the or...

Re: Video To Justify The Existence Of The Commentaries

Metta, Paul. :) Paul, This is a Classical Theravada subgroup. Going to a Christian discussion group and preaching that God was not a creator and Jesus was not the son would qualify you as a troll for that particular group. Think about what group you are commenting on and what you are saying and if ...

Re: Should Bikkhunis Be Sent To Probation Monasteries (Article)

A response to BKh This language is so over the top. I have never in 20 years heard of a monk "having a warrant on his head" no matter what precept he has broken. This is referring to bhikkhunis and not bhikkhus for sleeping or traveling alone. You had mentioned a monk. "warrant" ...
