The Book of Pairs and Its Commentary Vol I

---

The Yamaka, here translated as The Book of Pairs, is the sixth of the seven books of the Therav din Abhidhamma Pitaka. The Abhidhamma Pitaka consists of a scholastic re-working of the Buddha's teaching as recorded in the Sutta Pitaka, or "basket of discourses". During the first few centuries after the Buddha's death, the various lists of terms and concepts, so beloved of the early Buddhist oral tradition, were defined, discussed and re-worked into a systematic form. The books of the Abhidhamma Pitaka, or "basket of higher doctrine", each present different ways in which this systematic doctrine was handled in the Therav din tradition. While translations of the other six books of the Abhidhamma Pitaka have long been available, the Yamaka has until now remained unavailable in English translation, despite the Pali text having been published over a century ago by the Pali Text Society. Hence this late appearance of a high-quality translation of such a central canonical work of Therav din Buddhism is significant and welcome.
