Does anyone know of a good critique of Abhidhamma/Commentaries in Burmese?
Does anyone know of a good critique of Abhidhamma/Commentaries in Burmese?
I have a good friend from Burma, he holds very strongly to commentarial & abhidhammic views of the Dhamma...I try to explain the flaws but the language barrier is too much.
Born, become, arisen – made, prepared, short-lived
Bonded by decay and death – a nest for sickness, perishable
Produced by seeking nutriment – not fit to take delight in
Departure from this is peaceful – beyond reasoning and enduring
Unborn, unarisen – free from sorrow and stain
Ceasing of all factors of suffering – stilling of all preparations is bliss

Greetings,
Maybe best just to leave it?
I'm sure you appreciate your friend not making efforts to convert you to Burmese Buddhism?...

friends don't led friends drive drunk. friends don't let friends hold wrong views?

Greetings,
If someone is Burmese, and has access to Burmese Buddhism, I'd be wary of blitzing holes in something of theirs, especially if I didn't have something which was both better and understandable to replace it with.

Removing commentary & abhidhamma from Burmese Buddhism is better than Burmese Buddhism as it is

Anyway, he does try to convince me to read abhidhamma & commentary so I think it's only fair

This is the Early Buddhism subforum. I would think here I don't need to defend my view that the commentaries & abhidhamma are flawed.
