Introduction to Dhammasangani
The Dhammasaṅgaṇī (Pāli; 'Collection of Dhammas') is a Buddhist scripture, part of the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism. It is the first of the seven books of the Abhidhamma Piṭaka. It contains a detailed enumeration of all phenomena. This introduction in a way may be regarded as a brief introduction to the Abhidhamma Piṭaka as a whole. It is in two parts. The first part is about Abhidhamma and the second part is about Dhammasaṅgaṇī.
You’re What You Sense
Buddha is known as a religious teacher, which, of course, he is. But few pay attention to his methodology - that his teachings were arrived at what could only be called scientifically, i.e., through a strict objectivity. Over six years leading up to his Enlightenment, what he did was to train his mind to be free from attachment - not only to the world but even to concepts (paññatti) and views (diṭṭhi) of any kind as well. The result of such fine-tuning of the introscope of his mind was total objectivity, a level a scientist could only envy. It is in this objectivity that the Buddha declared that the only reality of the world, for a given individual, is what one gets through the senses, including the mind-sense, and senses alone, and indeed that you are what you sense. If one finds spiritual comfort in the Buddha’s teachings, I will have been humbled if these pages provide you with some scientific comfort as well, the two being, for the Buddha, not mutually exclusive. Those who are looking for his scientific concepts, I have boxed them for easy identification, and listed them all together at the end.

A Guide to the Maṅgala Sutta
In the days of the Buddha, lectures and discussions were held in towns and villages. For years “What is Maṅgala?” was a highly debated topic. Finally presented with it, the Buddha expounded the Maṅgala Sutta, containing thirty-eight principles for success and prosperity. The word maṅgala is a frequently used word in Myanmar. People greet each other with “Maṅgalabar”, which can be translated as “May your day be good” or “Good luck”. Monks often recite the Maṅgala Sutta at danā ceremonies and other Buddhist functions, and it is one of the first lessons taught to Buddhist children. Even though children won't understand the meaning of all Maṅgalas, understanding some is already beneficial. Maṅgala classes aim to teach children to be polite, disciplined, and cultured—which augurs well for the future of a country. This book is based on lectures given by Sayagyi U Kyaw Htut at the Young Men’s Buddhist Association (YMBA), Yangon, Myanmar.
This Living Tradition
For over 2500 years, the teachings of the Buddha have been a living tradition, passed down from generation to generation, teacher to student. This tradition is not merely a collection of ancient texts, but a vibrant, experiential path of liberation accessible to all.

The ...
