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.

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.

In time, cultivate freedom through love, compassion, rejoicing, and equanimity. Not upset by anything in the world, live alone like a horned rhino.
Having given up greed, hate, and delusion, having burst apart the fetters, unafraid at the end of life, live alone like a horned rhino.
Partial excepts from Snp 1.3 : Khaggavisāṇasutta

When a person lives heedlessly,
his craving grows like a creeping vine.
He runs now here

Walking Meditation
Walking is a wonderful way of meditating. It brings one to the point of realising that meditation does not depend upon the position of the body. Sitting, standing, lying down, walking — what is the difference when one is aware? The state of being aware is an experience which goes beyond the body.
The formal practice of walking is very useful in retreat situations where a lot of sitting is taking place and the body gets stiff. To walk for ten minutes or so between periods of sitting, stretches the joints and can bring relief to aching knees, ankles and so on. But more than that, in a sense, walking meditation is like putting sitting meditation into motion. This can break down any misconceptions about meditation being something only to take place in perfect stillness.
Freedom from form, feeling, mental activity, perception and consciousness — this little bundle called ‘me’ — can be experienced at any time just by engaging in the business at hand in a meditative way, whether it be the rise and fall of the abdomen, or the placing of one foot in front of the other in walking meditation.

If this sticky, uncouth craving
overcomes you in the world,

If, in the world, you overcome
this uncouth craving, hard to escape,
sorrows roll off you,
like water beads off
a lotus.
