Summary
A Survey of Paramattha Dhammas is a guide to the development of the Buddha’s path of wisdom, covering all aspects of human life and human behaviour, good and bad. This study explains that right understanding is indispensable for mental development, the development of calm as well as the development of insight. The author describes in detail all mental phenomena (citta and cetasika), and physical phenomena (rupa) and explains the processes of mental phenomena that experience objects through the sense-doors and the mind-door. The last chapters are in the form of questions and answers and deal with the problems one may face in the development of insight. For precision many Pali terms are used but nevertheless the book could be appreciated by both beginners and as well as those who have more background knowledge.

Critics Review
Aki Karvonen 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent survey to Abhidhamma 11 June 2018 (Amazon.co.uk) Format: Hardcover In my opinion the best introduction on Theravada Abhidhamma. Clear, systematic and written in simple English. It includes just the right amount of repetition to make it easier to digest this pretty difficult part of the Pali Canon, i.e. the Abhidhamma Pitaka. Maybe Bhikkhu Bodhi’s Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma and Nina Van Gorkom’s Abhidhamma in Daily Life could be read first, and then this book.
