Abhidhamma is a key text in the Buddhist tradition, forming part of the Pali Canon. It provides a detailed analysis of the mind and mental processes, categorizing various states of consciousness and their interactions. This systematic approach aims to deepen understanding of the nature of reality and the path to enlightenment. The Abhidhamma is often considered a philosophical and psychological framework, complementing the teachings found in the Sutta and Vinaya sections of the Pali Canon. It is studied by scholars and practitioners to gain insight into the workings of the mind and to enhance meditation practices.
