A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dhammapada forms part of the Pali Buddhist canon, though its exact place varies according to different authori ties, and we have not as yet a sufficient number of complete MSS. of the Tipiaka to help us to decide the question1. Those who divide that canon into threeP iakas or baskets, the Vinaya-piteka, Sutta-piaka, and A bhidhamma-piaka, assign theD hammapada to theS utta-pifoka. That Piaka consists of five Nikayas :the Digha-nikaya, theM aima-nikaya, theS awyutta-nikaya, the A nguttaranikaya, and the Khuddaka-nikaya. The fifth, or Khuddakanikaya, comprehends the following works :i. Khuddakapaa; 2. DHAMMAPADA; 3. Udana ;4. I tivuttaka; 5. Suttanipata ;6. Vimanavatthu ;7. Petavatthu ;8. Theragatha ;9.T herigatha; 10. ataka; n.N iddesa; 12. Paisambhida; 13. A padana; 14. Buddhavawsa ;15. AT ariya-piteka. According to another division2, however, the whole Bud dhist canon consists of five Nikayas: theD igha-nikaya, theM aima-nikaya, theS ayutta-nikaya, the A nguttaranikaya, and the fifth, the Khuddaka-nikaya, which Khud daka-nikaya is then made to comprehend the whole of the Vinaya (discipline) and A bhidhamma (metaphysics), together with the fifteen books beginning with the Khuddaka-paa. The order of these fifteen books varies, and even, as it would seem, their number. The Dighabhawaka school 1S ee Feer, Journal A siatique, 1871, p. 263. There is now at least one complete MS. of the Tipiz-aka, the Phayre MS., at the India Office, and Professor Forchhammer has just published a most useful List of Pali MSS., collected in Burma, the largest collection hitherto known. 2S eeC hilders, s. v.
