The Psycho-Ethical Aspects of Abhidhamma
by Rina Sircar
Category: Philosophy

Practical Buddhism is said to consist of three higher educations: ethics, mind or meditation, and wisdom. Of the Three Baskets of Buddhist teachings it is the Abhidharma which teaches wisdom. In this volume Sircar (Buddhist studies, California Institute of Asian Studies) attempts to explain the important elements of this process of teaching and learning which in practice has usually been reserved for Buddhist monks and nuns.
