I’m thinking about writing a document or maybe even a book to explain the importance of the commentaries and Abhidhamma. My idea is we can collect information here and then I can try to assemble this into a document of some sort. I think there is quite a lot to say. Quoted material is best, but also opinions would be good (but not so long winded). It would be good to have an explanation of the quote and why it is good. Sutta and Vinaya pitaka references are best.

If someone has already digested these two videos then that would save me time.
