Nina, Wayne, and friends

There are more than 200 points where Ledi Sayadaw differs strongly from
Abhidhammatthasangaha-Vibhavini-Tika. His criticisms have the typical
initial sentence "ta.m na sundara.m (This is not beautiful, i.e., not
good), which is traditionally viewed as almost too strong in tone, for
other commentators' typical term is "ta.m vicaaretabba.m (This should be
thought over)"

However, many of these difference are concerned with grammatical
intricacies and definitions of terms; there are very few doctrinal
differences. For both of them, or for that matter the author of
Abhidhammatthasangaha himself, were mere followers of the Abhidhamma
commentarial tradition. They were not original thinkers like Asvaghosa,
etc. of Mahayana Buddhism.
