N: Another approach to the texts is also possible. Terms used in the
suttas need understanding of ultimate realities, citta, cetasika and
ruupa, and conditions. Thus, it is helpful to study the Abhidhamma
next to the suttas. If paramattha dhammas are not studied and
carefully considered, translations run the risk of being inadequate.
Instead of automatic translation, what about translation with the
understanding of paramattha dhammas the suttas are referring to?
