Re: Early Buddhism resources
I would like to recommend my own introductory textbook, Buddhist Life / Buddhist Path: the foundations of Buddhist based on earliest sources.
I have taught a course on early Buddhism for many years, initially making use of Bhikkhu Bodhi's In Buddha's words, but in need in something more concise. After many revisions I am finally satisfied with the text. It follows the Buddha's gradual instruction, taking up fundamentals of ethics, Buddhist community and monasticism and refuge in the first half of the book, then the noble eightfold path in the second. It has twelve chapters, suitable for a twelve-week course. I will offer the course anew here in Austin, Texas on November 5, but audios of the classes are also available on-line.
The book is available as a pdf for download, or may be ordered for the cost of printing from Lulu.com. More information is available at: HERE.

Re: Early Buddhism resources
Just found this useful resource https://obo.genaud.net/backmatter/index ... ta_toc.htm, which contains all PTS translations of 4 Nikayas (some of them are not on sutta central) + PTS Pali edition (different from Burmese edition used in Sutta Central). All these is put in public domain or allowed to use for non-commercial purposes by PTS.

In the book The Fundamental Teachings of Early Buddhism pp. 7-11, the author (Choong Mun-keat) indicates that the Chinese scholar-monk Yinshun has demonstrated the historical important of Samyutta-Nikāya/Samyukta-āgama in Early Buddhism in two books: The Formation of Early Buddhist Texts 原始佛教聖典之集成 (1971), and Combined Edition of Sūtra and Śāstra of Saṃyukta-āgama 雜阿含經論會編 (1983) (Cf. also pp. 2-7: "1. Historical background").ancientbuddhism wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:00 pm The Fundamental Teachings of Early Buddhism Choong Mun Keat

Re: Early Buddhism resources
For various lookup tools that will allow you to find suttas on multiple platforms I suggest going to https://readingfaithfully.org/ and selecting Sutta Citation Helper.
The PTS lookup is obtained by pressing "Info" then "Pali Text Society Lookup". You can then copy the sutta number and go back to ReadingFaithfully to locate the on multiple platforms.

Re: Early Buddhism resources
Excellent, thanks. Bhante Dhammika still writes in the PTS format and it's always been hard for me to locate the modern numbering system equivalent, which I prefer. This makes it much easier.retrofuturist wrote: ↑Sun Sep 04, 2022 9:56 am Greetings,

Re: Early Buddhism resources
The sinking feeling which assails me when I see the abbreviation "PTS" has actually got worse.
The converter doesn't work for me at all. It gets the Nikaya right, but picks a different sutta from the one I'm testing. I tried this by going to ATI, finding a random sutta, and putting the PTS reference number cited in braces { } into the converter. It comes up with a different sutta.
Has anyone else tried this? Am I being even more stupid than usual?
