Category:Abhidhamma Pitaka
From The Dhamma Encyclopedia
The Abhidhamma Pitaka is the third division of the Tipitaka, the sacred scriptures of Buddhism, the other
parts being the Sutta Pitaka and the Vinaya Pitaka. It is made up of seven books the Dhammasagani, the
Vibhaga, the Dhtukath, the Puggalapaatti, the Kathvatthu, the Yamaka and the Pahna. An eighth
book called the Mahdhammahadaya has been lost. All the books of the Abhidhamma Piaka are later than
both the Sutta and the Vinaya Pitakas and may have been composed several hundred years after the
Buddhas passing. Tradition attributes them all to the Buddha himself but there is no mention of this in the
Abhidhamma Pitaka itself nor is there any mention of the Abhidhamma Pitaka in either the Sutta or the
Vinaya Pitakas. However, there is nothing in the Abhidhamma Pitaka that contradicts the Buddhas
teachings; the difference is of approach, not content. See also: Abhidhamma.
