My impression of Abhidhamma is entirely based on posts from Pure Dhamma. I still haven’t grasped the overall structure of Abhidhamma. Since I thought it would be meaningless to read other works if I couldn’t judge right from wrong by myself, I haven’t read Bhikkhu Bodhi’s works. Anyway, I tried to understand Abhidhamma using only the posts from Pure Dhamma.
For various reasons, my understanding has many gaps.
1. The Abhidhamma section does not have many posts to help understand its vast content.
2. I may not have fully understood the posts that have already been published.
3. I don’t have enough knowledge to distinguish between meaningful and meaningless questions regarding Abhidhamma.
These three issues seem to be interrelated, causing me to make continuous missteps.
I tried to fill in the gaps as best as I could, which seems to have led to somewhat meaningless questions. It seems I have come back to the same question in a roundabout way. But I had no intention of annoying you by repeating the same question. I was deeply focused and overlooked considering how my questions might impact you. I apologize for that oversight.
What I didn’t understand is that kiriya citta can only occur in arahants. If so, I don’t know what to call a citta of puthujjana without sancetana. I thought it would be meaningful to get an answer on this topic because it would be an example of how Abhidhamma can provide answers to ‘anything.’
The point is, I would like to know how to classify the citta of a puthujjana without sancetana.
