[[Abhidharma]] -([[chos mngon pa]])-  1) systematic teachings which analyze elements of experience and investigate the nature of existence, thus dispelling wrong views and establishing analytic insight. 2) One of the three parts of the [[Tripitaka]], the Words of the [[Buddha]], the essence of which is prajna, or [[discriminating knowledge]]. 3) Systematic teachings on metaphysics focusing on the training and developing of discriminating knowledge by analyzing elements of experience and investigating the nature of existing things. The chief commentaries on Abhidharma are the [[Abhidharma Kosha]] by [[Dignaga]] from the [[Hinayana]] perspective and the [[Abhidharma Samucchaya]] by [[Asanga]] from the [[Mahayana]] point of view.

"It is all right not to know the Tibetan language. As long as you can read, you can absorb the Dharma terminology, the Buddhist key words. Many learned people have told me that the majority of Buddhist scriptures exist in the Tibetan language. Second is Chinese; after that there is Japanese, Pali, and so forth. Nevertheless, Tibetan is foremost in quantity. Someone who wants to do detailed studies, can study to their heart's delight in the Tibetan medium, without running out of texts".
