Hello everyone,
I decided I couldn't wait another 3 months so I purchased the 1933 Pali Text Society Gradual Sayings F.L. Woodward and E.M. Hare translation.
So far most of the suttas I like most are already on Access to Insight or Nyanaponika Thera's anthologies (Parts I, II & III) so I'm advising people to wait the few more months for Bhikkhu Bodhi's translation.
I'd like to use Bhikkhu Bodhi's Thematic Guide from the NDB Digital Preview pdf but the PTS version has a different chapter numbering system. Does anyone have a link regarding converting one to the other?
Thanks / dhammapal.

Re: Bodhi watch... or waiting for the Anguttara
Access to Insight has the PTS version at the link to the Pali version of the text. For example:dhammapal wrote:Does anyone have a link regarding converting one to the other?
AN 1.21-40: Ekadhamma Suttas — A Single Thing {A i 5; I,iii,1-10; I,iv,1-10} [Thanissaro].
I believe the A i 5 refers to PTS AN volume 1, page 5. But you can only see the conversion for the texts they have online, not all suttas.
Re: Bodhi watch... or waiting for the Anguttara
Since this question seemed a little off topic, I started a new thread to answer it as well as a place for people who want to go through Bhante's study guide.

I got my copy. I like how it appears to have the PTS numbering equivalents written on the top of each page; that way I could eventually compare the translation with the older PTS edition. Haven't had time to go through it much yet, but I am sure it is a big improvement on the previous [PTS]translation.

The A.N. has made it Down Under! It even got delivered on a public holiday!
I bought the 1934 PTS translation four months ago and I've been reading it right up until getting the new one to relieve my impatience (a form of anger). They only managed seven pages a day from July 2011 but reading the Preface I learned that there were some assistant translators involved so the translation wasn't finished in July 2011 after all.
I've found good results come from opening at a random page although Bhikkhu Bodhi's Thematic Guide will be helpful.

Re: Bodhi watch... or waiting for the Anguttara
Hello!
I'm really new to this, and you all have me to interested. What exactly is the Anguttara? I see the abbreviations AN and SN everywhere. Can someone fill me in on what they are?
Much appreciated!

Re: Bodhi watch... or waiting for the Anguttara
The Anguttara is one of five Nikayas, or groups of suttas. Suttas are the vague equivalent of sermons. The five Nikayas are the Dingha, Majjhima, Samyutta (that's the SN you see around), Anguttara (AN), and Khuddaka.TessaHenley wrote:Hello!

Each Nikaya is between a thousand and four thousand pages long and contain hundreds of suttas.
The Nikayas are written in Pali, which is the ancient language in which the Buddha's teachings were first written.
Bhikkhu Bodhi is an American monk who is currently trying to translate the entire Suttapitika (literally "basket of suttas," referring to the entire collection of the Buddha's sermons) into English; he's already done the Majjhima, and Samyutta and we are all excited for the Anguttara to come out soon!
Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.

Ah yes, but are the end notes hot-linked to the text??Moth wrote:Kindle version seems to be down to $40.
I do love the kindle but I don't like the pain-in-the-backside routine of going to an end note and back again.
kind regards,
