Selected Suttas from the Pali Canon

The Pāli Canon, as it is called, contains all the texts written in Pāli, the language that comes closest to that which the Buddha himself would have spoken. It contains the earliest known records of the Buddha’s teaching which were originally preserved as an oral tradition and only written down several centuries after the Buddha’s Parinibbāna.

You will already have met some of the Buddha’s teachings from the Pāli Canon earlier in the course. The Sāmaññaphala and Meghiya suttas along with Piṅgiya’s Praises to the Way to the Beyond were included in the Year One material and the story of the Anuruddhas (from the Cūḷagosinga Sutta) was also referred to there. Other suttas are included in various modules of the course, including the Satipaṭṭhāna and Ānāpānasati suttas referred to in ‘The Way of Mindfulness’ module, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta in ‘Vision and Transformation’, etc. At this point it may be helpful to have an overview of this very important strata of the Buddhist texts in order to place them in a broader context.
