This website abhidhamma.com - never finsihed, never perfect - wants to provide accurate, reliable, and useful information concerning the study and practice of Abhidhamma, as it has been handed down to us through the written word of the Pāḷi-canon and commentaries, and the living example of the Saṅgha, especially in Myanmar (Burma).
