The Theravada Abhidhamma with Bhikkhu Bodhi (Class #10, 26 Mar 2018)

Dharma Realm Buddhist University Extension hosted Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi for a lecture series at the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Ukiah, CA.
The Abhidhamma is the philosophical psychology of Early Buddhism, dealing with such topics as types of consciousness, the 52 mental factors, processes of cognition, and the development of the mind’s higher potentials.
Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi is an American Buddhist monk with many important publications to his credit, either as author, translator, or editor, including the main text for this class.

Thank you for uploading all of this. I listened to it over the last two weeks. I have so much respect for Bhikkhu Bodhi from when I used his Snp. translation as a reference during my Nidd. translation, and this lecture series really just increased that level of respect.

Watched all 10 classes and bought a copy of the book to read. I wonder if Bikkhu Bodhi should get one more class in to cover the last few chapters. Thank you and much merit to you for sharing this series!

I want to know the answer to the question of Intention and Karma. You said without volition, there is no karma. However, there are situations where one person is quite Unconscious and Unattuned or unaware, unmindful, having little Emotional Intelligence. The other person tells him I feel hurt by your unkind actions and words. He defends himself by saying, I did not do anything to hurt your feelings and justifies his actions and thinking. He does not do anything to change so continues to behave the same way because he does not think it was wrong. He defends himself by saying, I am not doing anything with volition to harm you " so I dont have to change my behavior. Would this person have karma since he is Unconscious but keeps repeating the same behavior even after the other person told him it was hurtful?

You wear a monk robe ! Why do you need to wear a Shirt ? It's not a Theravada uniform.
