		Majjhima Nikaya Sutta 36, he sought for an alternative way to liberation and recalled his attainment of jhana when he was young under the rose-apple tree.

	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.
		The Digha Nikaya with the Mahaparinibbana Sutta thus developed in India was brought to Sri Lanka by the Arahant Mahinda.
		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.

		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.

	Abbreviations
		This is particularly problematic in the Samyutta and Anguttara Nikayas.
		For example, "S.i.100" means "Samyutta Nikaya, first volume, page 100 of the PTS romanized Pali edition." This is a standard scheme used widely by Pali scholars who, even today, rely on the PTS edition of the Canon as their common reference point.
		Thus "SN III.25" means "Samyutta Nikaya, samyutta number three, sutta number 25." This scheme -- like the preceding one -- is useful since it is independent of any particular print edition of the Canon, and is the method generally used at Access to Insight.

	CHRONOLOGY OF THE PALI CANON
		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.
		We have pointed out that this account in the Vinaya Cullavagga clearly alludes to the Digha as the first of the five nikayas as well as that the first two suttas were the Brahmajala and Samannaphala while as to the number and succession of the remaining suttas, we are kept completely in the dark.

		It is the author's wish, however, that any such republication and redistribution be made available to the public on a free and unrestricted basis and that translations and other derivative works be clearly marked as such.
		The Digha Nikaya, or "Collection of Long Discourses" (Pali digha = "long") is the first division of the Sutta Pitaka, and consists of thirty-four suttas, grouped into three vaggas, or divisions:

	Introduction to Burma Pitaka Association / burmatip.htm
		The Samyutta Nikaya is divided into five compilations, each called a Division (Vagga), and each has a large number of short suttas.
		The Anguttara Nikaya, Collection of numerically graduated discourses, has eleven parts or books, ranging from the first part consisting of discourses dealing with just one point or subject-matter, to the eleventh containing discourses each enumerating eleven things or points.
		When the three books of the Digha Nikaya are published in their entirety, the suttas in the present publication will come in their proper place and the numbering of the paragraphs will be consecutive in each book.

	SOME REMARKS ON PATICCA-SAMUPPADA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		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.
		A Sutta in the Anguttara Nikaya has been understand by some to imply that "Vedana is not always the karmic result of a previous life" and therefore none of the links in the Paticca-samuppada can refer to a previous life.
		Again, the fact that one has Vedana of some sort is due to craving and ignorance in a previous life, but the content of that Vedana or rather the particular type of feeling which is experienced is not necessarily caused by an action in a previous life.

	A STUDY OF THE DIGHA NIKAYA OF THE SUTTAPITAKA
		The literature is written in Magadhanam bhasa or the dialect of the Magadhas known as Magadhi or Pali.
		In the absence of sufficient materials it is still a difficult task for historians of literature to ascertain with exactitude the relation between the Digha Nikaya and the Mahavastu, a Sanskrit Buddhist work.
		But there is no justification to include this Suttanta within the Digha Nikaya but at a time when Dhamma and Abhidhamma could not be distinguished from the dhamma, this one must be regarded as one of the pioneers of all psychological expositions.

		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.
