Abhidharma

The Abhidharma is a collection of Buddhist teachings that analyze and categorize the mind, actions, and realities to understand the nature of experience and how to attain enlightenment. It offers systematic explanations of mental states, emotions, and phenomena, aiming to clarify how our perceptions and habits influence suffering and liberation. Essentially, it serves as a detailed mental map within Buddhist philosophy, helping practitioners see the underlying patterns of their consciousness and develop insight to cultivate wisdom and compassion.
