Buddha Abhidhamma - Ultimate Science - BuddhaNet

MENTAL SCIENCE OR ULTIMATE SCIENCE
NATURAL SCIENCES investigate the basic principles and laws of nature
to explain the physical phenomena that have been occurring for
aeons. But they cannot probe the nature of the mind and they fail to
explain the mental phenomena that have enormous influence on
physical phenomena.
Lord Buddha, with His power of omniscience, knew the true
nature of the mind and correctly described the causal relations that
govern mind and matter and thus can explain all psycho-physical
phenomena in the world.
His ultimate teaching, known as Abhidhamma, describes in
detail the natures of the ultimate realities that really exist in nature
but are unknown to scientists. His method of verification is superior
to scientific methods which depend on instruments. He used His
divine-eye to penetrate the coverings that hide the true nature of all
things. He also taught others how to develop concentration and
how to observe with their mind-eyes the true nature of all things
and finally the four Noble Truths which can enlighten one to achieve
one’s liberation from all miseries for ever!
So Abhidhamma may be regarded as Mental Science or Ultimate
Science—the science of the ultimate truths.
THE AGE OF ANALYSIS
PHILOSOPHERS have now come to the age of analysis. But who can
analyse mind and matter correctly and thoroughly as Lord Buddha
has done more than 2500 years ago!
The correct analysis of mind and matter is the greatest achievement
on earth and the discovery of the natural correlations between
mind and matter is the most beneficial discovery ever achieved by
man.
You will gain the greatest benefit if you strenuously study
Abhidhamma which systematically describes the intrinsic natures of
the ultimate comprising mind, matter and permanent peace
(Nibbàna).
MIND CREATES MISERIES AND HAPPINESS
ALL MENTAL PHENOMENA have mind as their forerunner; they have
mind as their chief; they are mind-made.
If one thinks, speaks or acts with an evil mind, misery follows him just
as the wheel follows the hoofs of the ox that draws the cart.
If one thinks, speaks or acts with a pure mind, happiness follows him
like his shadow that never leaves him
—Dhammapada, Verses 1&2
