正文

This modern translation of the Abhidhammattha Sangaha (Manual of Abhidhamma) offers an introduction to Buddhism's fundamental philosophical psychology. Originally written in the 11th or 12th century, the Sangaha has served as the key to wisdom held in the Abhidhamma. Concisely surveyed are Abhidhamma's central themes, including states of consciousness and mental factors, the functions and processes of the mind, the material world, dependent arising, and the methods and stages of meditation. This presents an exact translation of the Sangaha alongside the original Pali text. A detailed, explanatory guide with more than 40 charts and tables lead readers through the complexities of Adhidhamma.
近年来以中文为媒介语修学上座部止观禅者明显地增加。而在止与观两种禅法当中,阿毗达摩的知识对修学后者是非常重要的。所以敬于此译出《阿毗达摩概要精解》,希望有助于华文源流的禅修者减少在修学观禅时的障碍,也希望有助于正法长住于世,更长远地让众生获得至上法义的熏陶。
佛法肯定不只是理论而已,而阿毗达摩也不是纸上谈兵的某某世间学。从以下《殊胜义注》对佛学的观点,我们即可窥见此学之目的所在。
