5 A Note on Canonical References [5] Throughout this text, references to the Buddhist canon, the Tipiṭaka, are contained in parentheses. Among the three Piṭakas, or “baskets”, the Vinaya Piṭaka, the Book of Discipline; and the Sutta Piṭaka, the Book of Sayings, were used as sources for this study. The second basket is divided into five Nikāyas, or “collections”, of Suttas: the Dīgha Nikāya, the Long Sayings; the Majjhima Nikāya, the Middle-length Sayings; the Saṁyutta Nikāya, the Kindred Sayings; the Anguttara Nikāya, the Gradual Sayings; and the Khuddaka Nikāya, the Short Sayings. Suttas from the first two collections are most frequently cited in this text. Numerical references and titles correspond to those of the Pāli Text Society (London).
