  All references to the canonical literature are to the major  collections of texts in the Pāli Canon, primarily to the  Long, Middle, and Connected Discourses of  the Buddha (the Dīgha, Majjhima, and  Saṃyutta Nikāyas respectively). For the Abhidharmic account of mind and related phenomena I draw almost exclusively from Vasubandhu's Treasury of Higher Knowledge (Abhidharmakośa and its bhāṣya; hereafter AKBh), a foundational text for most of the philosophical developments of late Indian Buddhism. For other frequently quoted sources see  §3.1,  §6.3,  §7  and the   list of abbreviations.
