BOOK REVIEW GUIDE THROUGH THE ABHIDHAMMA PART II

Abstract

This review of Nyanatiloka’s essay on dependent origination is the second part of a larger review of his ‘Guide Through The Abhidhamma’ (the first part being found in JIBSC volume 1). This review will look at his essay on the paṭiccasamuppāda, found in the back of the guide to the Abhidhamma, but also the last chapter concerning the Paṭṭhāna. The chapter on the Paṭṭhāna is included because Nyanatiloka makes it a point to reiterate the 24 conditions found in the Paṭṭhāna and emphasize their importance in his explanation of the paṭiccasamuppāda
