The Chinese Agama parallel of MN 117

Starter Starter 9 ár síðan updated by Sujato Bhikkhu 9 ár síðan 1
Dear Bhante,

Many thanks for replying to my previous inquiry/feedback. I'm very happy to see online Pali-English and Chinese-English dictionaries at Sutta Central. Great work!

While appreciating very much the very helpful listing of Chinese agama parallels on the website (which has greatly facilitated my sutta study), I happen to notice today that MA 189 is listed as the Chinese agama parallel of MN 117, and wonder if SA 785 and SA 789 can also be considered as partial parallels to MN 117. In MA 189 only one path (a kind of "hybrid" path with the supramundane right view missing) and twenty factors were actually there, although “the Great Forty” (“twenty factors on the side of the wholesome, and twenty factors on the side of the unwholesome”) was mentioned there as in MN 117. In both SA 785 and SA 789 the two paths (mundane and supramundane) similar to those in MN 117 were seen, with the four noble truths (missing in MN 117) preserved before the mentioning of the mental factors for the path factors in the supramundane path. I thought that SA 785 and SA 789 could help the readers to understand the important and controversial MN 117.

More details on the comparison can be seen at http://www.dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=22..., if interested. Some relevant discussion can also be seen at http://www.dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=82...

Your corrections and comments would be highly appreciated. 

With gratitude and metta,

Sanzang Translation Machine & Cooperation

Nuno Castro (Unrul3r) 10 ár síðan updated by Sujato Bhikkhu 10 ár síðan 3
A while ago, I found a website which has some translated discourses from the Taishō Tripiṭaka, it also has a translation machine called Sanzang and an online translation tool built from it which is useful and seems promising. Since the staff here is intending to implement the Chinese Āgama literature onto SuttaCentral, I thought it might be useful if I shared this here for a possible cooperation with the site's maintainer. Maybe it might be possible to help English-only readers by integrating a dictionary similar to the Pāḷi one. If this specific idea is not possible due to some kind of constraint, maybe some other kind of cooperation might, nevertheless, be possible. Contact with the website's maintainer is possible through the e-mail provided in the About page.

I hope this might be useful and could bear some kind of fruit.

Kind Regards,
Nuno

Itivuttaka

Ludovic Bubner 10 ár síðan Uppfært 10 ár síðan 2
Dear Bhante,

It seems that the suttas from Itivuttaka are not published in Suttacentral. 
Am I wrong? Or simply because they do exist in the four Nikāyas already. Or... 
Best,

Will the online Pali dictionary be restored to the Pali suttas?

Starter Starter 10 ár síðan updated by Sujato Bhikkhu 10 ár síðan 1
Hello Bhante,

Thanks for the new design of the site. I wonder why I can no longer find the online Pali dictionary that could be enabled to read Pali suttas online. It was very helpful. I recommended suttaCentral to so many Dhamma practitioners, and told them the usefulness of the online Pali dictionary as well. I'm afraid that they might be disappointed that it's not here.

With gratitude and metta,

Random Suttas

Amitabha Elliott 9 ár síðan updated by sujato 9 ár síðan 3
Hello, 

I really appreciate the work you have all done creating this site. I have been using Access To Insight for several years and love it. I just read the translation of the Anapanasati sutta on Sutta Central and I really appreciate the additional detail and clear translation. 

One thing I would love to see as well is a random sutta feature as there is with Access To Insight. It's such a wonderful way to discover the dhamma that I use every day. 

Just an idea that I think many would appreciate. 

Thank you Venerable Sirs

May you be safe and happy always.

Search Results: Pagination & more

Dan C 10 ár síðan updated by Sujato Bhikkhu 10 ár síðan 1
Hi, I just tried out the search feature. I was looking for examples of a pali word I was curious about and it worked great! However, I have three suggestions for improvement.

First. On the search results page, is it possible to show ALL results and divide it into page like google? I searched for a fairly common word and it seems to have a max of 15 results.

Second.

Third. When you type in a word into the search field in the top right corner of the page, it instantaneously starts to show results. It might be helpful to have an indication there of how many total results there are such as "showing partial results of X total."

third.

A word is missing?

Ludovic Bubner 10 ár síðan Uppfært 10 ár síðan 2

Dear Bhante,


I'm reading the Mahāsatipaṭṭhānasutta in Pāli - M10. It seems that the word "matthaluṅgaṃ" or "brain" is missing between the two words: karīsaṃ and pittaṃ.
This issue can be found in the pabba: Kāya-anupassanā-paṭikūka-manasikāra-pabba. The pabba concerning the 32 parts of the body. It should be read: karīsaṃ matthaluṅgaṃ pittaṃ 

Well, it's not a big deal. But if you could update this sutta, it would be icing on the cake.

Best,

Ludo
