Description:Pages: 2972About the BookVasubandhus abhidharmakosa-Bhasya (ca. 380-390), besides its culminating achievement in streamlining the overall structure of the exposition of the preceding Abhidharma manuals, is unmatched by any of the preceding manuals in respect of its comprehensiveness-incororating all important vaibhasika doctrines since the time of Abhidharma-mahavibhasa-of its excellent skill in definition and elucidation, and of its ability to clarify the difficult points involved in doctrinal disputations.
