Abhidharma-kośa
Book •
The Abhidharmakośa is Vasubandhu's comprehensive survey and critique of Abhidharma doctrine, synthesizing and commenting on earlier scholastic positions.
It explores dharmas, momentariness, cognitive processes, and the problem of continuity and karmic potency.
The text became central in later Yogācāra and Tibetan scholastic traditions and is both a philosophical and hermeneutical resource for understanding early Buddhist psychology.
Its mixture of systematic analysis and polemical engagement shaped subsequent debates about the nature of mind and reality in Indian Buddhism.
