    Origin of Abhidhamma Pitaka

    Uploaded by

    anjana12
    This document provides an overview of traditional accounts regarding the origin of the Theravada Abhidhamma Pitaka. It discusses two approaches - traditional accounts and modern scholarly criticism. Traditionally, it is believed that the Buddha himself preached the Abhidhamma to deities assembled at various locations like the Tavatimsa heaven. However, modern scholars point to reasons like the lack of an inception story and amendments made to question it being directly from the Buddha. The document also discusses how Sariputta taught the Abhidhamma received from the Buddha to his disciples.

    The key takeaways are that there are different accounts of the origin of Abhidhamma, including traditional Buddhist stories and modern scholarly criticism. There are also discussions on how and when the Abhidhamma may have been realized, developed, and taught by the Buddha.

    The two approaches mentioned are the traditional accounts on the origin of Abhidhamma and modern scholarly criticism on the origin of Abhidhamma.

    The three inception stories discussed are the remote past (durenidana), recent past (avidurenidana), and immediate past (santikenidana).

    Reasons for denying Abhidhamma as


    not a preaching of the Buddha
    Unavailability of an inception story
    Later amendment of the Kathvatthuppakaraa
    Not assigning Abhidhamma to a particular group
    after the first Buddhist council
    Unavailability of the word Abhidhamma in the
    Pancasatikkhandaka
    Buddhaghosas effort of proving Abhidhamma as
    a teaching of the Buddha.
