Hello,
I'm looking for a summary of the Pali Canon where every sutta summary is mentioned.
I want to learn a summary about all suttas.
Please help me find such a source.

Re: Is a Pali Canon (Tipitaka) sutta Summary available
Sutta Central https://suttacentral.net/pitaka/sutta has summaries for most of the early suttas, i.e. DN, MN, SN, AN, and the older KN. Very short ones, such as the ones and twos in the AN, the Dhammapada verses, etc, do not have summaries, since those summaries would be almost as long as the suttas themselves...
So you could read those summaries online... Note that there is a "Spacings" control that turns the summaries on and off.

But I'm trying to find a summary with the complete meaning. Sometimes suttas have repetitive text making sutta reading difficult. I want to learn the full meaning of the sutta in a more simplified way.
I don't know if it is even possible
