Samyutta Nikaya and the nine angas
Samyutta Nikaya and the nine angas
Some time ago I read an article that compared the Samyutta Nikaya to the nine angas, and if I remember correctly, it seems that all the original angas can be found in the Samyutta. But I do not remember who wrote this or where I read about it. I'll be grateful if someone can point to where this article can be found.

I'm pretty sure it's in Choong Mun-keat, The Fundamental Teachings of Early Buddhism: A comparative study based on the Sutranga portion of the Pali Sarpyutta-Nikaya and the Chinese Sarpyuktagama
He refers to the work of Yin Shun who showed the three-anga structure of the SN/SA; anyway if this isn't the book, I bet the one you're thinking of is in the bibliography.

Ven. Sujato goes into detail about angas in his A History of Mindfulness. I only skimmed it and this was awhile ago so I don't remember much, but you might find something there.

Hi Kare,
Regarding the three angas structure of Samyutta/Samyukta, the following article written by Choong Mun-keat is also very useful:
'Problems and Prospects of the Chinese Samyukta-agama: Its Structure and Content' in Translating Buddhist Chinese, pp. 53-64 (Harrassowitz Verlag, 2010).
Best wishes,
Thomas
