A Perfect Knowledge of Mind-Body from the Abhidhamma (Dhātukathā): The third book of Abhidhamma Piṭaka

By P. B. Tan

This book examines the states in question based on four principles: including, not-including, association, dissociation. There are 371 states of inquiry which consist of 105 internal states, are taken from the first 13 Chapters of the second book, Vibhanga; and 266 external states, are taken from triads and dyads in Dhammasangani. These 371 states are first examined in Chapter 1 whereby states of inquiry from the subsequent thirteen chapters are later based on. These states are examined using fourteen methods, through the different combinations of states and different combinations of the four principles, for answers in terms of aggregates, bases, and elements. These fourteen methods end with 2453 states of inquiry which allow us to examine all conceivable mental phenomena with reference to the three schemata of aggregates, bases, and elements. I have included a chart and analytical answers, not whole numbers but in specifics, for every of these states of inquiry. I have also provided 35 charts by various other classifications in appendixes as references to the contents and as supplementary guide.
