Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-19 00:00:00 Peter Gillingham Although I'm interested and educated in buddhistic themes, I really didn't like this book. It seems to be a book written for the people who already must know everything about very complex theme of Abhidhammasutta, for it is really hard to follow because of insisting on naming everything by pali language terminology and making huge lists of pali terms of which you don't remember meaning because the meaning was probably mentioned just once, 200 pages ago. Even indology students will find this book too hard to follow, and actually useless in learning more on the subject. And not to mention, there really was nothing about psychology in there, just a bunch of charts and diagrams that don't mean anything to anyone except the author. There are much better books on this subject than this one.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-09-19 00:00:00 Joshua Cheon Excellent, highly academic presentation. Deep insight into the Buddhist ideas of Anatta (no soul), suffering, and rebirth. Currently reading again (3rd time? 4th?)
