Listen "The Twenty Two Faculties of Buddhist Philosophy"

Episode Synopsis

This talk explores the 22 Indriyas of Buddhist Abhidhamma philosophy. These 22 Indriyas (faculties / powers) are important mental and physical phenomena that influence the functioning of mind and body.Often they are categorized into different types, such as physical faculties, mental faculties, and supramundane faculties. The Indriyas play a crucial role in the Abhidhamma analysis of the human experience and the process of enlightenment.I have considered them in this talk in a slightly untraditional manner. For a better understanding of my rather untraditional way of understanding the Patthana conditions, I suggest to have a look at my website (https:// highermindart.info), or to read my book "Paramattha" which can be downloaded for free on the same website.
