	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.

	Khuddaka Nikaya

		The original purpose of the book must have been to serve as an introductory manual to the Nikayas before proceeding to the major texts.
		Therefore I appeal to the readers to understand the Pali as it is without referring to the commentaries because there is the possibility that Buddhaghosa could have introduced his brahmanic lore or his own interpretations to the commentaries.

	Abbreviations, Symbols, and Sutta Reference Numbers
		Because Pali has many ways of expressing the conjunction "and," Thanissaro Bhikkhu has chosen to make frequent use in his sutta translations of the ampersand (and) to join lists of words and short phrases, while using the word "and" to join long phrases and clauses.
		The Samyutta Nikaya is divided into 5 vaggas (chapters) containing a total of 56 samyuttas (groups) of suttas.
		The Anguttara Nikaya is divided into 11 nipatas (books), each of which is further divided into vaggas containing 10 or more suttas.

	Sutta Pitaka
		The suttas are grouped into five nikayas, or collections:
		Recent scholarship suggests that a distinguishing trait of the Digha Nikaya may be that it was "intended for the purpose of propaganda, to attract converts to the new religion." 1
