Ashamed of what’s not shameful,
not ashamed of what is,
beings adopting wrong views
go to a bad destination.
Seeing danger where there is none,
& no danger where there is,
beings adopting wrong views
go to a bad destination.
Imagining error where there is none,
and no error where there is,
beings adopting wrong views
go to a bad destination.
But knowing error as error,
and non-error as non-,
beings adopting right views
go to a good destination.

A Manual of Abhidhamma Being Abhidhammattha Sangaha of Bhadanta Anuruddhàcariya

Edited In The Original Pàli Text With English

Translation And Explanatory Notes By Nàrada Mahà Thera.

Abhidhamma is the Higher Teaching of the Buddha, sometimes referred to as the ultimate teaching (paramattha desanà). In it, man is described as a psycho-physical being consisting of both mind and matter, and it gives a microscopic analysis of the human being.

Abhidhamma explains the process of birth and death in detail. In addition to defining consciousness, it also analyses and classifies thoughts mainly from an ethical standpoint. Various types of consciousness are also set forth in detail, as they arise through the six sense-doors.

Modern psychology has begun to acknowledge that it comes within the scope of Abhidhamma for the reason that it deals with the mind, with thoughts, thought-processes, and mental states. Buddhism has, from the very beginning, taught psychology without a psyche.

Abhidhamma also helps the student of Buddhism to fully comprehend the Anatta (No-Soul) doctrine which forms the crux of Buddhism. To a person who reads this book in a superficial manner, Abhidhamma appears as dry as dust, but to the wise truth-seekers, it is an indispensable guide as well as an intellectual treat. The reader who reads this book with deep thinking cannot fail to find it with plenty of food for thought and which will help him tremendously to increase his wisdom so essential for leading an ideal Buddhist way of life, and the realization of Ultimate Truth, Nibbàna.

I–like an elephant in battle,
enduring an arrow shot from a bow–
will endure a false accusation,
for the mass of people
have no principles.

The tamed is the one
they take into assemblies.
The tamed is the one
the king mounts.
The tamed who endures
a false accusation
is, among human beings, the best.

Excellent are tamed mules,
tamed thoroughbreds,
tamed horses from Sindh.
Excellent, tamed tuskers, great elephants.
But even more excellent
are those self-tamed.
For not by these mounts could you go
to the land unreached,
as the tamed one goes
by taming, well-taming, himself.

A Comprehensive Manual
of Abhidhamma

The Abhidhammattha Sangaha
of Acariya Anuruddha

Bhikkhu Bodhi, General Editor

Pali text originally edited and translated by Mahathera Narada

Translation revised by Bhikkhu Bodhi

Introduction and explanatory guide by U Rewata Dhamma & Bhikkhu Bodhi

Abhidhamma tables by U Silananda

The present volume contains detailed exposition of Acariya Anuruddha’s Abhidhammattha Sangaha,the main primer for the study of Abhidhamma used throughout the Theravada Buddhist world. This volume began almost four years ago as a revised version of Ven. Mahathera Narada’s long-standing edition and annotated translation of the Sangaha, A Manual of Abhidhamma.

Now, as the time approaches for it to go to press, it has evolved into what is virtually an entirely new book published under essentially the same noscript. That noscript has been retained partly to preserve its continuity with its predecessor, and partly because the name “Manual of Abhidhamma” is simply the most satisfactory English rendering of the Pali noscript of the root text, which literally means “a compendium of the things contained in the Abhidhamma.” To the original noscript the qualification “comprehensive” has been added to underscore its more extensive scope.

The tusker, Dhanapalaka,
deep in rut, is hard to control.
Bound, he won’t eat a morsel:
the tusker misses the elephant wood.

When torpid & over-fed,
a sleepy-head lolling about
like a stout hog, fattened on fodder:
a dullard enters the womb
over & over again.

Before, this mind went wandering
however it pleased,
wherever it wanted,
by whatever way that it liked.
Today I will hold it aptly in check–
as one wielding a goad, an elephant in rut.

Delight in heedfulness.
Watch over your own mind.
Lift yourself up
from the hard-going way,
like a tusker sunk in the mud.

The Noble Eightfold Path
The Way to the End of Suffering
by
Bhikkhu Bodhi

The essence of the Buddha’s teaching can be summed up in two principles: the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The first covers the side of doctrine, and the primary response it elicits is understanding; the second covers the side of discipline, in the broadest sense of that word, and the primary response it calls for is practice. In the structure of the teaching these two principles lock together into an indivisible unity called the dhamma-vinaya, the doctrine-and-discipline, or, in brief, the Dhamma. The internal unity of the Dhamma is guaranteed by the fact that the last of the Four Noble Truths, the truth of the way, is the Noble Eightfold Path, while the first factor of the Noble Eightfold Path, right view, is the understanding of the Four Noble Truths. Thus the two principles penetrate and include one another, the formula of the Four Noble Truths containing the Eightfold Path and the Noble Eightfold Path containing the Four Truths.

If you gain a mature companion–
a fellow traveler, right-living, enlightened–
overcoming all dangers
go with him, gratified, mindful.
If you don’t gain a mature companion–
a fellow traveler, right-living, enlightened– go alone
like a king renouncing his kingdom,
like the elephant in the Matanga wilds, his herd.
Going alone is better.
There’s no companionship with a fool.
Go alone,
doing no evil, at peace,
like the elephant in the Matanga wilds.
