That is a great site, but I kind of think that he might mean in translation, which is how I took it, since reading Pali, though not as rare as turtle fangs, is not common.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:It is already available — the Pali text, the Commentaries and the Subcommentaries, and in many different scripts.AlaskanDhamma wrote:Ok so I know the idea of an online Pali Canon would take forever, but I'm just curious about it.

Re: Online Pali Canon?
Thank you everyone for the plentiful information.
Translations of texts of such importance will always be something to be debated about. Everyone wants to get the "right" or "accurate" translation. Which I'm afraid is impossible since you'd have to have lived in those times to have the right translation. Thousands of years will play "telephone" with texts, leading people to believe one thing while it actuality something else is attempting to be conveyed.
The overall message is what is important to me though. What was Buddha trying to say? During those times he would be speaking to a certain group of people at a certain time and for a certain purpose, with a certain context. The importance isn't in his exact wording, but in his message of the Dhamma.
Just my opinion.

I don't know of any online interlinear translation of the Satipatthana Sutta.Manapa wrote:Do you know of any sites with the satipatthana Sutta in both English and Romanised pali versions line to line comparison as well as a site with the ones you mention?

Ven. Dhammanando,
Do you know the name of that Thai painting on the website? Is this when Lord Buddha is dying?
