Early Buddhism resources
Re: Early Buddhism resources
Just found this useful resource https://obo.genaud.net/backmatter/index ... ta_toc.htm, which contains all PTS translations of 4 Nikayas (some of them are not on sutta central) + PTS Pali edition (different from Burmese edition used in Sutta Central). All these is put in public domain or allowed to use for non-commercial purposes by PTS.

In the book The Fundamental Teachings of Early Buddhism pp. 7-11, the author (Choong Mun-keat) indicates that the Chinese scholar-monk Yinshun has demonstrated the historical important of Samyutta-Nikāya/Samyukta-āgama in Early Buddhism in two books: The Formation of Early Buddhist Texts 原始佛教聖典之集成 (1971), and Combined Edition of Sūtra and Śāstra of Saṃyukta-āgama 雜阿含經論會編 (1983) (Cf. also pp. 2-7: "1. Historical background").ancientbuddhism wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:00 pm The Fundamental Teachings of Early Buddhism Choong Mun Keat

Re: Early Buddhism resources
For various lookup tools that will allow you to find suttas on multiple platforms I suggest going to https://readingfaithfully.org/ and selecting Sutta Citation Helper.
The PTS lookup is obtained by pressing "Info" then "Pali Text Society Lookup". You can then copy the sutta number and go back to ReadingFaithfully to locate the on multiple platforms.

Re: Early Buddhism resources
Excellent, thanks. Bhante Dhammika still writes in the PTS format and it's always been hard for me to locate the modern numbering system equivalent, which I prefer. This makes it much easier.retrofuturist wrote: ↑Sun Sep 04, 2022 9:56 am Greetings,

Re: Early Buddhism resources
The sinking feeling which assails me when I see the abbreviation "PTS" has actually got worse.
The converter doesn't work for me at all. It gets the Nikaya right, but picks a different sutta from the one I'm testing. I tried this by going to ATI, finding a random sutta, and putting the PTS reference number cited in braces { } into the converter. It comes up with a different sutta.
Has anyone else tried this? Am I being even more stupid than usual?

Re: Early Buddhism resources
Don't put any braces. Just put the PTS abbreviation followed by volume number then page number. For example, I got the correct reference for:
A i 298
as
AN 3.163
and it's correct.
A i 298
as
AN 3.163
and it's correct.

Re: Early Buddhism resources
I went to some random suttas on A2I and see you're right. I think A2I has some wrong citations. If you look up a sutta on Sutta Central, you can see the PTS number and put it in and it works correctly with the Sutta Central citations.
Test:
With the Kālāmas of Kesamutta
Kesamuttisutta
AN 3.65
PTS 1.189–1.193
A i 189 Kalama Sutta
converts to:
AN 3.65 Kalama Sutta
Re: Early Buddhism resources
Yes, that one works for me too. But then I tried the one that didn't.DNS wrote: ↑Sun Sep 04, 2022 10:38 pmI went to some random suttas on A2I and see you're right.

That's only one sutta out, but is confusing as it is in a different vagga and is therefore on a different topic. I remember from somewhere that SC misses out a couple of suttas which throws the numbers out.

is at the bottom of 35.248, not the top of 36.1. You can see it at the bottom here:
https://suttacentral.net/sn35.248/en/su ... ript=latin
Not sure whether that's a Sutta Central issue, or a Converter issue. In other cases I checked the page numbers are at the top of a sutta (unless they are in the middle of course...). You could raise the issue on github: https://github.com/benmneb/pts-converter and/or Sutta Central, since there may be an error somewhere.

Re: Early Buddhism resources
Looks interesting so far. His premise seems to be that in some of the Mahāyāna Sutras, the fabricators of those sutras are having the Buddha claim that all you need is those texts themselves to get the totality of the Buddhist tradition.ancientbuddhism wrote: ↑Tue Aug 28, 2012 3:00 pm Text as Father: Paternal Seductions in Early Mahāyāna Buddhist Literature, by Alan Cole
I see an unintended warning for those of us who rely heavily on the Tipitika. One cannot get the totality of the tradition without in-person contact with the Sangha.
May all beings, in or out of the womb, be well, happy and peaceful.
