There was an issue but I raised it with them. Must have fixed it.Sam Vara wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 10:40 pm All seems to be OK, but can anyone get line-by-line or side-by-side translations of the text, and activate the Pali word lookup? The Pali word lookup only seems to work for me when I am looking at the Pali version. I'm sure I could do it yesterday!
Edit: It's just come back. A sure sign that I am just clicking icons wildly, rather than thinking about what I am doing...

“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

Re: SuttaCentral 2021: we are live!
OK. Thanks. Its working now.
So you are going to start studying & analyzing sutta rather than rely on secular scholars. Cool. Maybe we can chat on Zoom about your personal investigations.
There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

Re: SuttaCentral 2021: we are live!
I can't make head or tail of the new format.
Could someone kindly tell me how I would go about finding, say, the Pali text of MN 2?

"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Well, from the home page you could click on the cards suttaPitaka>Majjhima>MajjhimaNikaya (that's the tricky bit, there are Chinese agamas)>First Fifty>chapter on root of all thingsDhammanando wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 5:04 am Could someone kindly tell me how I would go about finding, say, the Pali text of MN 2?
Then click on MN2. You will see a suta-plex card:
There you see the translation languages as well as root text. Easy peazy.
But if you know that you want mn2, you can get to that card by typing suttacentral.net/mn2
Hope that helps.

Re: SuttaCentral 2021: we are live!
Thanks Paul and BKh.
I can't understand why everyone's enthusing about this latest version. I could find what I was looking for much more quickly and easily with the older version and quickest and most easily of all with the very first version.
Actually the first version (still surviving as legacy.suttacentral.net, but unfortunately no longer updated) is still my first port of call, simply because I have a slow connection and it loads much faster than its newfangled successors.

And the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: "Behold now, bhikkhus, I exhort you: All compounded things are subject to vanish. Strive with earnestness!"
