DIGHA NIKAYA SERIES – DAILY SUTTA LISTENING
WELCOME TO THIS SERIES
This is a special feature for December for ‘listening’ to all the 34 suttas in the Digha Nikaya. It’s an amazing and rich library of The Buddha’s teachings. I will daily post a new sutta to listen with a brief overview of the sutta.
The Digha Nikaya, or “Collection of Long Discourses” (Pali digha = “long”) is the first division of the Sutta Pitaka, and consists of thirty-four suttas, grouped into three vaggas, or divisions:
Silakkhandha-vagga — The Division Concerning Morality (13 suttas)
Maha-vagga — The Large Division (10 suttas)
Patika-vagga — The Patika Division (11 suttas)
There will be no language translations for December so the translators can have a break and the month free.
We will continue to feature “The Daily Cushion” with meditation teachings on the daily featured Digha Nikaya sutta.
