This volume contains the Pali text, an English translation, and a detailed exposition of Ācariya Anuruddha's Abhidhammattha Sangaha, the main primer for the study of Abhidhamma used throughout the Theravāda Buddhist world.

The teachings in this book, drawn from the authors's poetry and talks deal with a wide range of issues in the training of the mind.
