This book has used the languages in both Abhidhamma and contemporary science. In Abhidhamma, the book AbhidhammaSangaha is mainly used for analysis. In the aspect of using the language of modern science, the concepts of biology, neurology, and psychology are integrated into Abhidhamma and Buddhist teachings. However, not all the concepts in Abhidhamma's teachings can be included. The concepts in the book are those which belong to the pancakhandha, especially the process of cognition. The theories of psychology and the teachings in Suttapitaka are incorporated to draw out parallel teachings to help the readers to have a clear understanding. This attempts to enable readers to develop knowledge and apply it in practice to gain happiness in this very life. Hopefully, this generates the reader's strong faith and encouragement to engage in the practice.
