#Abhidhamma #AbhidhammaSevenBooks #vtuberthai Many people wonder why at funerals, when people listen to the Abhidhamma, they don't understand what they're saying. The deceased probably won't have the chance to hear it, so why chant? Why don't monks chant the Abhidhamma in Thai or translate it so people can better understand it? What is Abhidhamma? The word Abhidhamma literally means "great Dhamma" or "special Dhamma." It comes from the word "abhi" meaning "great," and "dhamma" refers to teachings or natural states or things. Abhidhamma in Buddhism refers to the true essence of the Dhamma, presenting only the essence of the teachings. It doesn't specify who or what to teach. This is unlike the teachings in the sutras, where the Buddha or Arahants teach different people, such as teaching a king about a certain Dhamma topic, teaching a millionaire, teaching a brahmin, teaching a monk, or teaching people about different teachings. Abhidhamma, on the other hand, deals purely with the fundamental principles of Dhamma, such as mind, mental factors, matter, and nirvana. It discusses the various types of mind, mental factors, matter, and nirvana, without specifying whether it's the mind of Prime Minister A, Mr. B, or the matter of this or that person. But it speaks of the state of humans, animals, living beings, or the aggregates in general, not specifically any individual. Abhidhamma has been expounded and taught since the Buddha's lifetime. In particular, during his seventh Rains Retreat, he spent the Rains Retreat in the Tavatimsa Heaven. Queen Siri Mahamaya was reborn in the Dusit Heaven and heard a sermon from the Buddha there. The Buddha considered that past Buddhas had all taught Abhidhamma to their mothers, as it was a high-level Dhamma with great merit, making it suitable for repaying their mother's kindness. Therefore, he expounded it. After the recitation, her mother attained Sotapanna, the first level of enlightenment in Buddhism. Abhidhamma is therefore considered to have great merit and is suitable for repaying parents. Therefore, people have asked monks to chant Abhidhamma at the funerals of elders. However, there is no mention of when the Abhidhamma was first chanted. The Abhidhamma consists of seven scriptures, each with its own distinct content. And the monks selected only a few passages from the seven Abhidhamma scriptures to chant in brief. 1. Dhammasangkhī or Phrasangkhī: This section deals with meritorious and demeritorious actions, and rebirth in the blissful realms, to remind people of good and bad karma. 2. Vibhanga: This section deals with the physical condition of our bodies, which is composed of various things. 3. Dhātukatha: This section deals with the classification of our physical and mental functions, such as citta and cetasika, or mental states and their interaction to create our minds and feelings. This section illustrates the diverse nature of life, thoughts, and feelings. 4. Pukkalappanatta: This section discusses the classification of things into categories, such as such qualities as a certain type of person, such as such qualities as an arahant, such qualities as a dharma, such qualities as a dhamma. This section specifically discusses the classification of people, demonstrating that despite their diversity, things are ultimately impermanent. 5. Katāvatthu: This section discusses the debates and debates between two schools of monks. The monks chanted specifically on the topic of permanence. One side, known as the Theravada school, believes that things are impermanent. Everything is impermanent and emptiness. The other side, the Vajjiputra school, believes there is a permanent self, concluding that Vajjiputra's thinking is wrong. 6. The Yamaka scriptures refer to pairs of dhammas. In this chapter, the monks chant the concept of kusala roots to encourage people to reflect on the nature of merit or goodness. 7. The Mahapatthana scriptures end with the word paccayo, or factors. There are 24 factors, meaning that all things have causes and effects, regardless of the situation. Therefore, nothing is permanent because it depends on factors and causes, not by chance or inspiration. Besides the Abhidhamma, there is a chapter called Bangsukulatai, and Bangsukula is: The Bangsukulatai chapter is: Anicca vata sangkhārā Uppadāvaya dhammino Uppajjitva nirujjhanti Tesang vupasa mosukhō means: All conditioned things are impermanent, arising and passing away. Born and then extinguished. Understanding the impermanence of all things and achieving peace will bring happiness. Another verse is the Bangsukul chant: Ajiram Vatayangkayo Pathawing Adhisesati Chudtho Apetavinyanaano Niratthangwa Kalingkarang which means: This body will soon be thrown to the ground. When this body no longer perceives anything, it's like a useless log. These two verses are used by monks in the ceremony of drawing the Bangsukul cloth, or cloth in front of a corpse, and in the bone-collecting ceremony. The...
