Buddha Abhidhamma - Ultimate Science - BuddhaNet

Dr. Tin Mon enlightens the readers extremely well with his
BUDDHA ABHIDHAMMA—Ultimate Science. A reader can derive more
benefit from this book in one week that from a life-time of pondering
the philosophies of others.
This treatise is really a new version of the Compendium of Buddhist
Philosophy after the design of the well-known book called THE
ABHIDHAMMATHA SANGAHA—The Compendium of Buddhist Philosophy
written by U Shwe Zan Aung and published by the London Pali Text
Society in 1910. Dr. Tin Mon perfected and augmented it still further
by the extraordinary quality of his intellect and all the superb
patrimony of wisdom which he inherited from his predecessors.
As a matter of fact, I have studied the subject in conjunction with
the Ultimate Science at the Department of History and Philosophy
in Harvard University from the theological point of view. But I am
more thoroughly convinced and lucidly enlightened in the conception
and meaningfulness of the subject only now after I have read this
new book presented by Dr. Tin Mon.
It is really a very hard task to write than to read such a profound
work like this. May all scholars therefore unanimously and sincerely
welcome this superb work on Abhidhamma and may Abhidhamma
enlighten the whole world.
