About the Program

A three-level diploma course built around Dr Nandamala’s Fundamental Abhidhamma.

The program is designed for students who need a guided, disciplined route into Abhidhamma study, public lectures, and formal promotion examinations in Myanmar or English.

Program Purpose

Built to cultivate Abhidhamma understanding through structured study and progression.

Curriculum Base

The course follows the sequence of Fundamental Abhidhamma.

Students move through the same doctrinal order presented in Dr Nandamala’s textbook, so lectures, notes, and examinations all reinforce one coherent curriculum.

Educational Aim

Students are trained to read carefully, compare categories, and explain what they study.

The diploma is not only about remembering terms. It is meant to build disciplined reading, clear note-taking, doctrinal comparison, and confidence before each exam.

Public + Formal Model

Public teaching remains open, but formal progression requires registration and examination.

Lectures and resources are public-facing. Students who want official progression register formally, sit the in-person promotion exam, and move level by level toward diploma completion.

Program Levels

Three connected stages carry the student from first reading to diploma completion.

Level 1

Citta, Cetasika, and Pakinnaka form the first disciplined reading of Fundamental Abhidhamma.

Level 1 trains new students to read key Abhidhamma categories carefully, distinguish consciousness from mental factors, and build the vocabulary needed for later levels.

Level 2

Vithi, Vithimutta, and Rupa develop the student’s analytical reading of process and matter.

Level 2 helps students follow cognitive process, process-freed states, and material phenomena with greater precision, comparison, and exam readiness.

Level 3

Samuccaya, Paccaya, and Kammatthana complete the full diploma sequence.

Next Step

A good student journey should move naturally from orientation into study, registration, and progression.

After understanding the program, students should be able to see the level structure clearly, review admission requirements, and prepare for the formal exam route.
