Thank you.

If there is a few things that you would say are most valuable that you learned from this Work, what would they be?

God Bless,

Being able to see and classify the various types of citta in my own life has been enormously helpful for practice as well has having an understanding of anatta in terms of ultimate reality in addition to the suttanta method.

Very good then. You got more from it than I did at a glance.

Do you have any merit gainings from God for your practice? You are talking about ultimate reality -- so tell me, what siddhi have you to work with?

The Abhidhamma is very difficult going. I read U Kyaw Khine's translation in 2 vol before finding that one on-line. I'll admit I was very hesitant about Rhys-David's trans as I've had some very bad experience with her work (I don't recommend her trans of Khp or Dhp), but only a little bit of it sank in on the first reading if only because I wasn't sure what I was reading. Abhidhamma takes much time and meditation
