Process of Consciousness and Matter by Aggamahāpaṇḍita Dr. Rewata Dhamma is a detailed English-language supplement to the acclaimed A Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma by Bhikkhu Bodhi. Aimed at serious students of Buddhist psychology and philosophy, this work expands on the intricate frameworks of citta (consciousness) and rūpa (matter) as presented in the Abhidhamma Pitaka. Drawing on both classical Pāli sources and modern insights, it explores thought processes, mental factors, kalāpas, and the interplay between mind and matter with clarity and structure.
Originally published by Triple Gem Publications and edited posthumously with support from leading Burmese scholars, this book provides rare and rich insights previously available only in Myanmar-language texts. Rewata Dhamma, a respected teacher and scholar, bridges the gap between theoretical understanding and meditative experience, making this an essential resource for those studying advanced Buddhist thought.
Readers are encouraged to use this as a follow-up to A Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma and to consult additional resources like the Abhidhamma section on HolyBooks.com. The text also resonates with contemporary philosophical and scientific approaches, offering parallels with Western thought in psychology and consciousness studies.
