| | Beginnings: The Pali Suttas (1) |
| | We know that the Pali Suttas -- the discourses in the Pali language -- are acknowledged by all Buddhist schools to be the oldest record we have of the Buddha's Teaching. | | | We know that nearly a century ago the scholars of the West performed an about-face from their original majority position and now fully acknowledge the primacy, as regards age, of those Suttas. | | | But we also know that certain objections have been raised with regard to the origin and transmission of those discourses. |

| | Suttas |
| | Its expositor is the Venerable Sariputta Thera, the Buddha's chief disciple and the foremost of the Master's bhikkhu disciples in the exercise of the faculty of wisdom. | | | In the Sammaditthi Sutta the great disciple bears ample testimony to the Buddha's words of praise, bequeathing upon us a discourse that has served as a primer of Buddhist doctrine for generations of monks in the monasteries of South and Southeast Asia. | | | Thus in all this sutta sixteen sections have been stated: the section on the courses of kamma, the section on nutriment, the section on suffering, and the sections on aging and death, birth, being, clinging, craving, feeling, contact, the sixfold base, mentality-materiality, consciousness, formations, ignorance and the taints. |

| | APHORISMS & INSIGHTS. |
| | The Mahayana concept of nirvana is separated by an abyss from the nibbana of the Pali Suttas. | | | The Buddha is dhammabhuta, ‘become Dhamma’, and the Suttas are an account of Dhamma. | | | I once asked, "Do the Suttas contain all that the Buddha ever said?" The answer is certainly No. But all this is beside the point. |

| | Majjhima Nikáya 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. | | | A close study of the Suttas suggests that the latter translation is also valid because the Buddha's disciples were called savakas or listeners (of the Dhamma), and he generally referred to them as "Aryan disciples" in the Suttas (e.g. | | | These two Suttas indicate that the attainment of the Anagamin and the Arahant stages must have perfect concentration, which is always defined as the four jhanas or one-pointedness of mind by the Buddha in the Suttas (e.g. |

| | These are the 11 Suttas chanted everyday in every monastery and nunnery and in some houses of lay people in all TheravÈda Buddhist countries. | | | With these words the Buddha exhorted His monks to learn the ŒÔÈnÈÔiya protection for their protection and thus began the tradition of chanting the Sutta for protection and good results. | | | Except the introductory verses, the Suttas are found in the Pitakas as follows: |

| | This sutta is the closest thing in the Pali Canon to a "who's who" of the deva worlds, providing useful material for anyone interested in the cosmology of early Buddhism. | | | But this sutta also depicts, in simple language, the poignant human drama that unfolds among the Buddha's many devoted followers around the time of the death of their beloved teacher. | | | This wide-ranging sutta, the longest one in the Pali Canon, describes the events leading up to, during, and immediately following the death and final release (parinibbana) of the Buddha. |
