 Liberation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
As the Buddha stated in the Anguttara Nikáya Sutta 5.88, it is possible that a world-renowned monk of very senior status, with a huge following of lay and monastic disciples, and who is highly learned in the scriptures, can have wrong views.
Anguttara Nikáya Suttas 9.20, 10.63, and Samyutta Nikáya Sutta 13.1 confirm that the Sotapanna is endowed with Right View.
In Anguttara Nikáya Sutta 5.202, the five advantages of hearing the Dhamma are enumerated.

 CHRONOLOGY OF THE PALI CANON   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
If the earlier code presupposed by the Anguttara passages was composed of rules near about 150 and even not 200, it may be pertinently asked if the Patimokkha, as we now have it;, was the very code that had existed prior to the Anguttara Nikaya.
The Puggala classifications in the Digha, Samyutta and Anguttara Nikayas are seen to constitute at once the sutta back-ground and the stereotyped Vibhangas or Niddesas, mostly contained in the Majjhima Nikaya may be take to repesent the Sutta background of the Vibhanga.
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.

Anguttara Nikaya Sutta 10.75 tells about the person who is saved by Dhamma: "...for he has listened (savanena), he has done much learning (bahusacca), he has penetrated view, he wins partial release....
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.

Nikaya is a Pali term similar to the Sanskrit term "Agama," meaning "basket".
The selection I will be evaluating is Chapter 111 from this nikaya, called Discourse on The Uninterrupted, in which Sariputtas spiritual advancement is used as an example for personal practice.
Also, the Pali Nikayas were compiled by Theravadan Buddhists while the Chinese Agamas were translated and compiled by Mahayana Buddhists.

 Sri Lanka's Contribution to the Development of the Pali Canon
Sumangalavilasini, the commentary on the Digha Nikaya, explicitly states that the sections on the distribution of relics and erection of ten stupas were added to the Sutta in the Third Council.
It is therefore resonable to ask the question whether the Samyutta and Anguttara Nikayas were revised and edited in Sri Lanka to minimize the repetitions the originals had.
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.

 Anguttara Nikaya / tipintr3.htm
This Collection of Discourses, Anguttara Nikaya, containing 9557 short suttas is divided into eleven divisions known as nipatas.
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.
This division of Khuddaka Nikaya consists of two parts: Maha Niddesa, the major exposition which is the commentary on the fourth vagga (Atthaka) of the Sutta Nipata and Cula Niddesa, the minor exposition which is the commentary on the fifth vagga (Parayana) and on the Khaggavisana Sutta in the first vagga.

 Numerical Discourses of the Buddha
The Pali Text Society's translations of the four main Nikayas, or divisions of the oldest Buddhist scriptures, began in 1899 with TW Rhys Davids' translation of the Digha Nikaya.
Whereas the chapters in the Samyutta Nikaya are divided according to subject matter, for example the 'Uncompounded', or the 'Aggregates', the Anguttara is divided into chapters according to number, from one to eleven.
One of the most frequently quoted and doctrinally problematic statements from the Anguttara is that: 'This mind O monks, is luminous, but is defiled by adventitious defilements'.
