Abhidhamma in Daily Life by Nina van Gorkom (PDF)

Description

Abhidhamma in Daily Life with 14 pictures of Buddhist Holy sites in India and Nepal. Abhidhamma in Daily Life is an exposition of absolute realities in detail. Abhidhamma means higher doctrine and the book’s purpose is to encourage the right application of Buddhism in order to eradicate wrong view and eventually all defilements. Many terms in Pali the language of early Buddhism are used and are defined as they are introduced. The book is therefore suitable for beginners as well as practising Buddhists. It is detailed and precise and an invaluable aid to unlocking the deep meaning of the entire Buddhist canon and applying the theory to our daily lives for the benefit of ourselves and others.Table of Contents Preface: The Four Paramattha Dhammas: The Five Khandhas: Different Aspects of Citta: The Characteristic of Lobha: Different Degrees of Lobha: The Characteristic of Dosa: Ignorance: Ahetuka Cittas (Rootless Cittas): Ahetuka Cittas which are Unknown in Daily Life: The First Citta in Life: Different Types of Rebirth-Consciousness: The Function of Bhavanga (Life-Continuum): Functions of Citta: The Function of Javana: The Functions of Tadārammaṇa and Cuti: Objects and Doors: Doors and Physical Bases of Citta: Elements: The Sobhana Cittas in our Life: Planes of Existence: Samatha: Jhānacittas: Lokuttara Cittas: Enlightenment: GlossaryAuthor’s prior work:Buddhism in Daily Life; The Buddha’s Path; Cetasikas; A Survey of Paramattha Dhammas (translator); The Perfections Leading to Enlightenment; Lovingkindness in Buddhism; The Conditionality of life; The Buddhist Teaching on Physical Phenomena; Taking Refuge in Buddhism (translator); The World in the Buddhist Sense; Understanding Reality; Introduction to Abhidhamma; Abhidhamma in Daily Life.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Among the summaries of Abhidhamma I have and refer to, this is by far my favorite. Something about how Van Gorkum thinks and presents ideas works very well with me. Although it’s also available in free downloadable pdf, I really enjoy and prefer this sturdily-bound hardback. Pages are thick and print is clear. This book will last. The author’s book _Buddhism in Daily Life_ was one of the first I read on Theravada Buddhism, when I began to focus on this path more than twenty years ago. It showed and encouraged me to follow a very natural, wisdom-oriented approach. This book on Abhidhamma is similarly effective, and I expect it to be a continuing source of knowledge and inspiration for years to come.

⭐This authors books on Abhidhamma are some of the best there are and wholeheartedly recommended. Go for the hardbacks if possible.

⭐Very clear and informative. Maybe the best book to start with the Abhidhamma studies.
