Could you recommend me any books or videos to learn Abhidhamma? I want to learn it fully.
This is my website and any of those books are very good and easy to read. Books – ABHIDHAMMA.ORG
This one will give a good grounding.

I like the approach of Sujin Boriharnwanaket and Nina Van gorkom - who wrote many of those books- because they try to show how Abhidhamma is not something theoretical but is actually what life is . Terms like the khandhas, dhatus, ayatanas, nama rupa, might seem complicated but they are descriptions of what is occuring every moment. Nothing can be more useful or important to understand.

Bhante Rahula stayed with us in SBS for 2 years. I still haven’t got to see his lecture series on Abhidhamma, but I do recommend it for those who wants intro to Abhidhamma.

I don’t think he is teaching anymore. His “wife” is the expert in Abhidhamma and still taking care of business. The two of them were good. He would often try to dumb it down for the audience and if he made a mistake, his “wife” would correct it. It was good. I listened to almost all of them up to the series where they mention pa-auk Sayadaw.
