Windows Database of Suttas
(MAC, UNIX, Linux, etc. click here )
The Sutta Pitaka, the second division of the Tipitaka , consists of over
10,000 suttas, or discourses, delivered by the Buddha and his close disciples
during the Buddha's forty-five year teaching career, as well as many
additional verses by other members of the Sangha.
I have created a database of over 2000 sutta translations from material on the
Access to Insight and SuttaCentral websites.
In order to access it, you need to:
Download the
Unicode Document Processor After the Unicode Document Processor has been installed,
Download the Database See the second record of the database for tips on how to use this
database and UDP.
I have also created four Pali-English Dictionaries and an English-Pali Dictionary
that work in conjunction with UDP and this Sutta Database. Click
