Excerpt from Compendium of Philosophy: Being a Translation Now Made for the First Time From the Original Pali of the Abhidhammattha-Sangaha; With Introductory Essay and Notes
It will be objected that, at the best, we have but re corded the modern usage in Burmese colleges, built on a medieval tradition which has very possibly diverged from such interpretations as the compilers of the Pali Canon would have made. This is possibly quite true. But it does not improve the case for our unaided etymological inferences as to original meanings. We should not com mend the judgment oi a Burman, who sought to get at the meanings Of early Greek philosophers in the original, without reference to the mass of European comment thereon, grown up out Of medieval learning.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich philosophical tradition of Buddhism, offering a unique perspective on the nature of mind, consciousness, and the human experience. The author examines the core tenets of Buddhist philosophy, particularly the concept of *Anatta*, the non-self doctrine, which refutes the existence of a permanent, unchanging soul or ego. Drawing from centuries of Buddhist scholarship, the book explores the complex interconnectedness of the world and how our perceptions shape our reality. It examines the intricate workings of the mind, analyzing different states of consciousness, from subliminal to supraliminal, and exploring the nature of thought and perception. The book's insights into the Buddhist philosophy of life and its inherent impermanence offer readers a fresh perspective on the nature of existence, challenging conventional Western notions of identity and selfhood.
