HS Mauberley Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Have a look around http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ It's a great resource and what's better is that you can download the entire website to browse off-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucenkhamen Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 What is the difference between the Pali canon and the Tipitaka?? Also is the Dhammapada a chapter of these/this book?? :-) The terms are synonymous. The former is an english description, the latter the Pali name. Also is the Dhammapada a chapter of these/this book?? :-) It's one book in the Pali canon/Tipitaka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seonai Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Might be worth noting that in Thai Tripitaka is usually pronounced Try Pitok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Pali: Tipitaka Sanskrit: Tripitaka Thai: Phra Traipitok (พระไตรปิฏก) The 423 verses of the Dhammapada come from the Khuddaka Nikaya, in the Sutta Pitaka third of the Tipitaka. Around a hundred of the verses can also be found in other suttas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
