Manual of Abhidhamma-Explained, Volume II

by the Late Sayadawgyi U Sīlānanda

We are very happy to announce the publication of a Dhamma book titled Manual of Abhidhamma-Explained, Volumne II.  It is an edited version of a series of lectures given by the late Sayadaw U Sīlānanda on the Abhidhammatthasaṅgaha, first at the Tu Quang in San Francisco and later at Tathāgata Meditation Center in San Jose, California as requested by the Buddhist Group which later founded the Tathāgata Meditation Center.

The late Sayadaw U Sīlānanda, while living, had devoted his time and energy to spreading the original teachings of the Buddha until the final days of his life.  He kept his pledge to serve the Buddha Sāsana without retirement.  He had led so many Vipassanā meditation retreats, taught several Dhamma classes, and given many Dhamma talks at Tathāgata Meditation Center as well as at other places to benefit people.  While still living, Sayadaw was always energetic and in high spirit to spread the original teachings of the Buddha.

The book “Manual of Abhidhamma-Explained, Volumne II” will be printed at the end of 2023. Should you be interested in receiving this book, please fill out the bottom part of this letter and mail it back to Tathāgata Meditation Center.  This book is free of charge but any donations to the Free-distribution Program are welcome and greatly appreciated.

Cẩm Nang Bao Quát Về Chi Pháp

(A Vietnamese translation of A Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma by Bhikkhu Bodhi)

Abhidhammatthasaṅgaha is a small manual written by Ācariya Anuruddha, an Indian monk, in about the twelfth century in order to help monks find comfort in learning the Abhidhamma-piṭaka taught by the Buddha. Abhidhammatthasaṅgaha is not easy to understand, however. The late venerable Nārada Mahā Thera wrote the book “A Manual of Abhidhamma” to assist the readers in understanding it.  Bhikkhu Bodhi and U Rewata Dhamma later edited this book into a book titled “A Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma” and Sayadaw U Sīlānanda used this newly edited book as a text for his ‘Abhidhammatthasaṅgaha-Explained’ class.  Luyen Pham has translated this book into Vietnamese to benefit Vietnamese readers.

The book “Cẩm Nang Bao Quát Về Chi Pháp” will be printed during the April-May 2023 Vipassanā intensiv
