Sutta Info

The Sutta tab provides detailed information about a discourse.

It handles one of the major problems with the different sets of Pāḷi texts, namely differing numbering systems. Using Chaṭṭha Saṅgāyana numbering as a base, all other Pāḷi texts are aligned by the corresponding sutta, not by number (which can differ).

Here's a breakdown of each section:

Chaṭṭha Saṅgāyana Tipiṭaka (CST)

This section contains all information relevant to the digitized version of the 6th Buddhist Council.
