Four Nikayas - complete English translation now online

Post by Lombardi4 »

This site ( http://www.palicanon.org ) has recently (3 days ago) made a major update of its content and now offers:

1. From the Vinaya Pitaka - the Bhikkhu and Bhikkhuni Patimokkha
2. From the Sutta Pitaka - Complete translations of all four major nikayas (DN, MN, SN, AN) translated (it seems to me) by Bhikkhu Bodhi (except DN), as well as a few books from KN (Khuddakapatha, Dhammapada, Udana, Itivuttaka, and Sutta Nipata)
3. From the Abhidhamma Pitaka - Dhammasangani and Kathavatthu

Saadhu! Saadhu! Saadhu! May the light of the Dhamma now shine forth unimpeded throughout the entire English speaking world!
The non-doing of any evil,
The performance of what's skillful,
The cleansing of one's own mind:
This is the Buddhas' teaching.

Thank you! :smile:

Thanks! It seems my online Sutta resources are growing...

Fantastic!

But how does it work in terms of copyrights? Wisdom publications seemed to be pretty tight on the subject..
