Excerpt from Dukapatthāna, Vol. 1: Being Part of the Abhidhamma Pitaka To those, nevertheless, who, on opening this volume about the middle, find its perusal too irritating, I would suggest, first, a preliminary study of the appended table of the nine formulae recurring uniformly in every Duka; and next, of the first Duk a, taken in conjunction with the Appendix.
