The philosophical systems that emerged from this refined analytical approach to the doctrine are collectively called the \u003cstrong\u003eAbhidhamma\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cem\u003edhamma\u003c\/em\u003e theory is not merely one principle among others in the body of the Abhidhamma philosophy but the base upon which the entire system rests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis booklet traces the main stages in the origin and development of the \u003cem\u003edhamma\u003c\/em\u003e theory and explores its philosophical implications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bps.lk\/library-search-select.php?id=wh412\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView eBook versions for free on the BPS site.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are a total of 447 Wheels published by the Buddhist Publication Society (BPS), with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.pariyatti.org\/Wheel-Publications_c_386.html\"\u003e222 titles listed on our website\u003c\/a\u003e.
