Englishअभिधर्म Tatpur. m. (-र्मः) (In Buddhistic doctrine.) The mani-
fested or revealed truth
(Abhidharmakośa, as quoted in
Burnouf's Introd. p. 40: = अभिमुखो धर्मः
therefore not to be
rendered: the ‘supreme law’
धर्म has been translated here
‘truth’, instead of ‘law’, in conformity with the judicious
remark of Spence Hardy, East. Mon. p. 167)
i. e. the Bud-
dhistic dogmas and metaphysics, as laid down in the अ-
भिधर्मपिटक q. v.--The first redaction of the Abhidharma
is ascribed to Kāśyapa or Mahā-Kaśyapa, the principal
disciple of Śākya Muni
but the redaction of the whole col-
lection of works on this subject seems to belong to different
periods the last of which precedes the third Buddhistic
synod
(see Lassen's Ind. Alt. vol. II. p. 458). Hodgson re-
lates of four great Nepalese schools divided on account of
their views on the Abhidharma: the Svābhāvika, Aiśvarika,
Kārmika and Yātnika (see Burnouf's Introd. p. 441 and the
quotation given there)
Csoma de Körös speaks of four
other Tibetian schools which are divided and subdivided
into various sects: 1. the Vaibhāṣikās which comprise four
sects: a. one founded by Rāhula, the son of Śākya, and
subdivided at the period of the third synod into seven sects:
the Mūla-sarvāsti-vādās, Kāśyapīyās, Mahīśāsakās, Dhar-
maguptās, Bahuśrutīyās, Tāmraśātīyās and Vibhādyavā-
dinas
b. one founded by Kāśyapa, a Brāhmaṇa, and sub-
divided into six sects, five of which, bearing the collective
name of Mahāsaṅghikās, were known at the time of the
third synod: the Pūrvaśailās, Avaraśailās, Haimavatās,
Lokottaravādinas and Prajnaptivādinas
c. one founded by
Upāli, a Śūdra, and having the surname Sammatās, sub-
divided into three sects: the Kaurmakullakās (?), Āvan-
tikās and Vātsīputrīyās
d. one founded by Kātyāyana, a
Śūdra, and subdivided also into three sects: the Mahāvi-
hāravāsinas, Jyetavanīyās and Abhayagirivāsinas
2. the
Sautrāntikās with two sects
3. the Yogāchārās, founded by
Āryasaṅgha and divided into nine sects
4. the Mādhyami-
kās owing their origin to Nāgārjuna who lived about 400
years after the Buddha, divided into two sects the founders
of which are probably Āryadeva and Buddhapālita. (For
these sects and the doctrine itself see Burnouf's Introd.
p. 437 ff., Lassen's Ind. Alt. II. p. 456 ff.
also Spence Hardy's
East. Mon. where a legend, related p. 197, conveys an idea
of the great merit supposed to be acquired by the study of
the Abhidharma.) E. अभि and धर्म.
