Help with Majjhima Nikaya Reference?

[Mettajhana]

Hi everyone. I am reading Analayo's Satipatthana, The Direct Path to Realisation and also have a copy of the Majjhima Nikaya (Bhikkhu Bodi, Wisdom).

For the life of me I cannot fathom how to map the notations in Satipatthana to the MN. Here's an example: M I 435 or M III 16.

Is he referring to a different translation to the one I have?

Many thanks,

It's simply a different citation style; check the page headers in your translation, and you will see "i 47" and such. So, ignore the M, and look for "i 35" or "iii 16", to use your examples.

Hi Mettajhana,

Here's an explanation of numbering:

That's marvellous. Thanks guys. I have really poor eyesight and that numbering is near the binding on each page so i'd completely missed it!

thanks again

Thank you Dmytro! That is a very complicated system that I finaly understand (I think); and outdated.
