Category:Sutta Pitaka
From The Dhamma Encyclopedia
The Sutta Pitaka is the first division of the Tipitaka, the sacred scriptures of Buddhism, the other parts being
the Vinaya Pitaka and the Abhidhamma Pitaka.
The Sutta Pitaka contains the discourses of the Buddha and some by his disciples and is made up of five
books or nikyas - the Long Discourses or Digha Nikya, the Middle Length Discourses or Majjhima Nikya,
the Connected Discourses or Samyutta Nikya, the Numbered Discourses or Anguttara Nikya and the
Miscellaneous Discourses or Khuddaka Nikya. These discourses were committed to memory by monks and
nuns and sometimes even by lay man and women and orally transmitted for several hundred years after the
Buddhas passing. Historical records say that the suttas were written down in the 1st century BCE in Sri
Lanka, although this had probably already been done earlier in India.
