Summary: The Sutta Piṭaka is the basket of discourses in the Pāli Tipiṭaka. It preserves sermons, dialogues, verses, narratives, doctrinal explanations, and practical instructions attributed to the Buddha and his close disciples.
Overview
The Sutta Piṭaka is organized into five nikāyas, or collections. The first four are arranged mainly by discourse length, topic, or numerical structure; the fifth, the khuddaka nikaya, gathers shorter and more mixed works that do not fit neatly into those four patterns.
This wiki currently has full Dhammapada coverage, raw-backed overview/source-reader coverage for several Khuddaka texts, and initial conservative overview/source-reader pages for all four main nikāyas.
Major Collections
- digha nikaya — Dīgha Nikāya — long discourses
- majjhima nikaya — Majjhima Nikāya — middle-length discourses
- samyutta nikaya — Saṃyutta Nikāya — connected discourses arranged by topic or person
- anguttara nikaya — Aṅguttara Nikāya — numerical discourses arranged by numbered sets
- khuddaka nikaya — Khuddaka Nikāya — minor or miscellaneous collection
