JE Carpenter, digha nikaya

Post by salayatananirodha »

Anyone have information on this translator? https://www.amazon.com/Digha-Nikaya-J-C ... gha+nikaya
I couldn't find anything using google but its a great price comparatively and it seems rather difficult to find a full DN outside of Walshe
if anyone has comments on walshe, share them here too. His I guess are what suttacentral primarily uses

He was a Unitarian minister and Sanskrit scholar. He assisted Thomas Rhys Davids with the editing of the romanised Pali editions of the Dīgha Nikāya and its commentary, but I don't think he translated any Pali texts.

The other Dīgha Nikāya translations beside Walshe's are those of Th. Rhys Davids and the Burmese Sāsanā Piṭaka Association.
Yena yena hi maññanti,
tato taṃ hoti aññathā.


In whatever way they conceive it,
It turns out otherwise.
