Abstract
It is well known that the Abhidharma provides the metaphysical, cosmological and phenomenological backdrop against which any form of Buddhist meditative praxis takes place. As an early Tibetan treatise on the subject of contemplation (Skt. dhyāna), the 10th century bSam-gtan mig-sgron provides an interesting example of the ways the categories of the Abhidharma shaped Tibetan discourses on meditation. The present chapter seeks to explore the many implicit references to these categories that are found in the bSam-gtan mig-sgron.
