Synopsis

Translation of Suttanipāta Fifth text of the Khuddaka-nikāya of the Sutta-piṭaka, consisting mainly of verses, apparently compiled from a number of sources. Two chapters of the Suttanipāta are mentioned by name in other Pāli canonical texts, and the commentary upon them is also included in the canon. It is apparent that this text contains some of the oldest Pāli poetry we possess. 2nd ed., tr. K.R. Norman (with notes), 2001, 2015 Paperback edition (without notes): The Rhinoceros Horn. Please note: PTS members must order directly from the PTS. One of the oldest collections of Buddhist discourses in the Pali Canon, constituting a rational, straightforward presentation of the ethics and psychology of Buddhism. This popular work is written in a mixture of prose and verse. It presents a code of conduct and provides the basis for a system of moral philosophy. A prime source work.
