[Buddha-l] Kathavatthu I.1.1

[connie]

Hi Rahula,
I don't know of any Kathavatthu translations other than Aung & C. Rhys-Davids "Points of Controversy".  
"Real and ultimate fact" refers to paramattha dhammas (classified as rupa, nama, cetasika and nibbana) as opposed to conceptual or conventional ideas such as 'a person' or 'tree'.  You might want to read some of Nina van Gorkom's works such as "Abhidhamma in Daily Life" ( www.zolag.co.uk/ebook.html<http://www.zolag.co.uk/ebook.html> ) and/or Ven. Narada's English translation of the Abhidhammattha Sangaha ( www.palikanon.com/english/sangaha/sangaha.htm<http://www.palikanon.com/english/sangaha/sangaha.htm> ).  
peace,
connie
