 Nikaya Buddhism
Nikaya Buddhism is distinguished from the Buddhism of the various Mahayana and Vajrayana schools, which accept the authenticity of a range of other scriptures.
Nikaya Buddhism is a general term for those schools of Buddhism that accept only the class of sutras collected in the Pāli Canon as authentic.

Nikayas is also known as Agama Sutras in the Mahayana Buddhism
In Anggutarra Nikaya 8.51,(Refer also to The First Sangha Council-The Thera Mahakassapa has made the blessed Buddha’s message to endure 500 years - from the Mahavamsa book) the Buddha warned that the true Dhamma would remain unadulterated for 500 years after his passing into Nibbána.
The Buddha explained: “Nay, monks, the Tathagata does not recognize bliss merely because of pleasurable sensation, but monks, wherever bliss is attained, there and there only does the Accomplished One recognize bliss.” Parinibbana.

 What the Buddha Said
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.
You yourselves should make the effort; the Tathagatas (Buddhas) only can show the way.

 Encyclopedia article on Nikaya [EncycloZine]
Nikaya is a word of Pali origin and Sanskrit usage which was adopted into English in reference to Buddhist texts.
An equivalent used in China is Agama, and the Sutta Pitaka of the Pali Canon is sometimes referred to as "the Agamas" by Mahayana Buddhists -- or as "the Nikayas" if they are in the company of Theravada Buddhists.
The word has other usages: we should note particularly that in the south-east Asian Theravada school it is the polite term for monastic orders, divisions among monks, or "sects".

 Majjhima Nikaya
This nikaya consists of 152 discourses of the Buddha, which together constitute a comprehensive body of teaching concerning all aspects of the Buddha's teachings.
The Majjhima Nikaya, or "Middle-length Discourses" of the Buddha, is the second of the five nikayas, or collections, in the Sutta Pitaka of the Pali Canon.
The Introduction to that book is an extraordinary synopsis of the Buddha's teachings in general, and of their expression in the Majjhima in particular.
http://www.buddha.co.il/canon/majjhima

  
 Majjhima Nikaya
The first book, Mulapannasa, deals with the first fifty suttas in five vaggas, the second book, Majjhimapannasa consists of the second fifty suttas in five vaggas too; and the last fifty two suttas are dealt with in five vaggas of the third book, Uparipannasa, which means more than fifty.
In this discourse, given at Savatthi, the Buddha made the bold statement that the four Categories of Ariyas, namely, the Stream-winner, the Once-returner, the Non-returner and the Arahat exist only in his Teaching and not in any other.
The Buddha explained the basis of all phenomena, specifying twenty four categories such as the four elements (earth, water, fire, wind); sentient beings, devas; the seen, the heard, the thought of, the known; the oneness, the multiplicity, the whole; and the reality of Nibbana.

 The Anguttara Nikaya
The Anguttara Nikaya, the fourth division of the Sutta Pitaka, consists of suttas arranged in eleven sections (nipatas) according to numerical content.

 Dhammavuddho Thera - Liberation - Relevance of Sutta-Vinaya
The true Dhamma is embodied in the discourses of the Buddha found in the earliest 4 Nikayas: are generally accepted by all schools of Buddhism to be the original Teachings of the Buddha, unlike other books (e.g.
Nowadays, the Buddha's Teachings are referred to as Tipitaka or Tripitaka, although they were called "Dhamma-Vinaya" by the Buddha in the discourses.
Majjhima Nikaya Sutta 14 tells how a cousin of the Buddha, Mahanama, came to see the Buddha and said that he had learnt the Dhamma for a long time and knew that greed, hatred and delusion were defilements.

 Journal - The Middle Way Journal
Majjhima Nikaya 76: Ananda points out that the Buddha declared a wise man certainly would live the holy life, and while living it would attain the true way, the Dhamma that is wholesome, if he can eliminate the Five Hindrances and attain the Four jhana s as well as realize the three true knowledges.
Majjhima Nikaya 149: The Buddha says here that when a person develops the Noble Eightfold Path fully, the 37 requisites of enlightenment are also developed fully, and samatha and vipassana occur in him working evenly together.
Majjhima Nikaya 108: Venerable Ananda is asked what kind of meditation was praised by the Buddha and what kind of meditation was not praised by the Buddha.

 Wisdom - Our Catalog

 H-Net Review: Susanne Mrozik on Buddhist Learning and Textual Practice in Eighteenth-Century ...
The new monastic order is heralded as the savior of a degenerate Buddhism because it restores Buddhism to an earlier pristine condition, one characterized by an emphasis on monastic learning (especially of the Pali language), discipline, and meditation.
Whereas studies of Protestant Buddhism commonly attribute the privileging of Pali Buddhist texts to the influence of Europeans with an allegedly Protestant predilection for canonical sources, Blackburn argues that such privileging owes as much, if not more, to the Siyam Nikaya's emphasis on Pali learning.
Chapter four focuses on five indigenous histories of Buddhism written in the eighteenth century by laity and monastics associated with the Siyam Nikaya.

 Majjhima Nikaya 41 THE BRAHMINS OF SALA (//Saleyyaka Sutta//) Introduction The brahmins of
Beings who appear due to the force of past action (kamma) in some states of birth: all gods and divinities, ghosts, inhabitants of hells; see Majjhima Nikaya Sutta 12 (Mahasihanada Sutta).
For an explanation of these views held by some teachers in the Buddhist time, and which were a rejection of all moral values, see Ledi Sayadaw, //The Eightfold and its Factors Explained// (BPS Wheel No. 245/247).
The Buddha then analyzes what kind of kamma will take one to a low rebirth.

 Anguttara Nikaya / tipintr3.htm
These erudite questions and answers on the Teaching of the Buddha are compiled into the book known as the Milindapanha Pali.
The following is the list of treatises as approved by the Sixth International Buddhist Synod.
Although the word "Khuddaka" literally means "minor" or "small", the actual content of this collection can by no means be regarded as minor, including as it does the two major divisions of the Pitaka, namely, the Vinaya Pitaka and the Abhidhamma Pitaka according to one system of classification.

Digha Nikaya Sutta 16 & Anguttara Nikaya Sutta 4.180 - 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 m

 BURMA (MYANMAR) PITAKA ASSOCIATION / introduc.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.

 Samyutta Nikaya
Here is the Buddha's famous simile of the blind sea-turtle, illustrating the precious rarity of this human birth.
The braces {} that follow each sutta and samyutta title contain the corresponding volume and starting page number, both in the PTS romanized Pali edition of the Samyutta Nikaya and in Bhikkhu Bodhi's Connected Discourses of the Buddha ("CDB").
An excellent modern print translation of the complete Samyutta Nikaya is Bhikkhu Bodhi's The Connected Discourses of the Buddha: A New Translation of the Samyutta Nikaya (Boston: Wisdom Publications, 2000; originally published in two volumes, but now available in a single volume).

 Study Guide to the Suttas of the Pali Cannon
It has been suggested that the suttas in this collection were intended as a set of study texts for newly ordained monks as they pursued spiritual development.
It contains stories which you might find more engaging than the bare teachings of some of the other collections.

 World Religions: Comparative Analysis
There are also the texts in Khuddaka-nikaya 10 and the Jataka tales, referring to the previous lives of Buddha and his friends, in which each one's identity is always known.
Also, the very existence of the supranatural power of recollecting past lives attained in concentration ( Digha Nikaya 12) suggests that a certain core of personal identity must exist and be reincarnated from one life to the next.

 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.
