 Cheap Software :: The Long Discourses of the Buddha : A Translation of the Digha Nikaya (Teachings of the Buddha)
The Digha is part of the scripture of the Theravada school of Buddhism.
The form of the teaching differs from that of later Buddhist teachings in that in the Digha, the Buddha is presented as a person wandering through India and teaching his disciples, followers of other sects, kings, princes, gods, and anyone who is open to listen.

 Sri Lanka's Contribution to the Development of the Pali Canon
With the establishment of the concept that the Khuddaka Nikaya is fifteenfold in the Mahavihara tradition, a new text not known to the Indian Buddhists was introduced to the Khuddaka Nikaya in Sri Lanka.
The Digha Nikaya with the Mahaparinibbana Sutta thus developed in India was brought to Sri Lanka by the Arahant Mahinda.
It is the Khuddaka Nikaya that undergone a qualitative and a quantitative difference in Sri Lanka.

 Buddhist texts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although many versions of the Nikaya school texts were written in Sanskrit, the only complete canon to survive in its original language is that of the Theravadin school, which preserved the texts in the Pali language.
The Theravada and other Nikaya schools believe, more or less literally, that these texts contain the actual words of the Buddha.

Also, the Pali Nikayas were compiled by Theravadan Buddhists while the Chinese Agamas were translated and compiled by Mahayana Buddhists.

 CHRONOLOGY OF THE PALI CANON
But even presuming that the five nikaya divisions of the growing Buddhist canon were current in the third century B. C., it does not necessarily follow from it that all the books or Sutt-as or individual passages comprising the five nikayas were composed at that time.
With regard to the Dighanikaya it has been directly pointed out by Buddhaghosa that the concluding verses of the Mahaparinibbana Suttanta relating to the redisribution of Buddha's bodily remains were originally composed by the rehearsers of the Third Buddhist Council and added later on by the Buddhist teachers of Ceylon.
This Nikaya contains a section(Mundarajavagga in the Pancaka Nipata)commemorating the name of King Munda who reigned, as shown by Rhys Davids, in Rajagaha about half a century after the demise of the Buddha The Nikaya made within the fifty years from the Buddha's demise.

The Sutta-Pitaka is the main source for the doctrine of the Buddha and it is spoken of as being divided into five collections (Nikayas) of texts.
An accessible translation of the Digha Nikaya, a collection of thirty-four long discourses given by the Buddha.
It is accurate to state that it is these texts which constitute the essential common heritage of Buddhist thought and they therefore represent the most convenient starting point in the quest for an understanding of Buddhism.

Digha Nikaya Sutta 16 & Anguttara Nikaya Sutta 4.180 - the words & syallables are to be closely scrutinized, laid beside Sutta & compared with Vinaya.
Last Days of the Buddha - Maha parinibbana Sutta (Digha Nikaya Sutta 16) & Anguttara Nikaya Sutta 4.180 O bhikkhus, remember these four (citations of) Great Authorities - the words & syallables are to be closely scrutinized, laid beside Sutta & compared with Vinaya.
If, when thus laid beside Sutta & compared with Vinaya, they lie not along with Sutta & agree not with Vinaya, to this conclusion must ye come: Sure this is not the word of that Exalted One, Arahant, the Fully Enlightened One, & it was wrongly taken by that monk.

 What the Buddha Said
Not in the sky, nor in the middle of the ocean, nor in the cave of a mountain, nor anywhere else, is there a place, where one may escape from the consequences of an evil deed.
Not to do evil, to cultivate merit, to purify one's mind - this is the Teaching of the Buddhas.
Those who are mindful do not die; those who are not mindful are as if already dead.

 Introduction to Burma Pitaka Association / burmatip.htm
When the Pali Texts as a whole are divided into Nikayas, the five books of Vinaya and the seven books of Abhidhamma are included in the Khuddaka Nikaya.
The Khuddaka Nikaya contains eighteen books of miscellaneous suttas, as accepted by the Sixth international Buddhist Synod of 1954-56.
The first sutta from Mahavagga in this publication, the fourth one here, starts with paragraph No.95, because this actually is the second sutta in Book Two.

 SOME REMARKS ON PATICCA-SAMUPPADA
The Paticca-samuppada is explained in detail at two places in the Sutta-Pitaka : in the Mahanidana - Sutta, No 15 of the Digha Nikaya ; and in the Nidana - Samyutta, Samyutta No XII of the Samyutta Nikaya.

To his remarks on the subject should be added that its subsequent use in Hindu texts to denote the state of enlightenment is not in conformity with Buddhist usage, where the basic meaning of concentration is expanded to cover “meditation” in general.

 Digha Nikaya 16
It preserves the principal feature of the Buddhist sutta, insofar as it is, like others, a rehearsal of events as they have been witnessed.
The titles of the chapters and sections have been supplied by the translator and editors, though the division of the work into six recitation units dates back to the period when the Canon was transmitted orally from one generation to the next.
Of the thirty-four discourses (suttas) that make up the Digha Nikaya (Collection of Long Discourses), ours, the sixteenth, is the longest, and so altogether maintains the first place where length is concerned.

 BUDDHISM
By reducing individual beings to a mere heap of aggregates which suffer from constant becoming, and by analysing these aggregates, the Buddha does not find any trace of a permanent self ( Digha Nikaya 15; Samyutta Nikaya 22,59).
