Sutta Piṭaka

One of the three divisions of the Tipiṭaka. It consists of five collections (nikāya):

  1. Dīghanikāya,
  2. Majjhimanikāya,
  3. Saṃyuttanikāya,
  4. Aṅguttaranikāya
  5. Khuddakanikāya.

The first four are homogeneous and cognate in character. A number of suttas appear in two or more of them.
