English Translation of the Sutta Pitaka freely available!

Post by MidGe »

It looks like the Pali Text Society has made available the entire English translation of the Sutta Pitaka in digital format for free!

This is absolutely fantastic. I am totally flabbergasted and most thankful to the Pali Text Society.

Best to be aware that many of these translations are around eighty to a hundred years old - the language and grammar can be a little different to what you are used to.

With metta,
