A brief introduction to the Nikaya Sutras The Nikaya, Pali and Han Chinese canon are the sutras belonging to traditional Buddhism, also known as Theravada Canon. Those are the sutras containing what the Buddha taught during his 45 years of mission. The content of the Nikayas contains the basic foundation of the Buddha's teachings, which are very intimate, close, easy to understand and easy to apply and practice. The Sutta Pitaka consists of five parts called the Nikayas. Hereinafter called the Great Canon of Nikaya. The first four parts - the Dıgha (the long family), the Majjhima (the central part), the Samyutta (the Samyutta family) and the Anūguttara (the Sangha branch) - consist of discourses called the Sutras, of varying lengths, often thought to be taught by the Buddha. The fifth part is called Khuddaka (Minority), which has a different structure from the first four parts. Specifically as follows: 1. The school of sutras (dīgha-nikāya) is the first set of sutras in the Great Nikayas. The suttas in this series are relatively long, so they are called the School of Sutras. The Pali school of scriptures of Theravada consists of 34 suttas. The school of Mahayana sutras is written in the Sanskrit (Sanskrit) literature, translated into Chinese as the School of Functions (sa. dīrghāgama) with 30 suttas. The school of sutras of these two cultures are not exactly the same, there are 27 sutras that are the same. The important suttas of the Pali Canon are: The Brahmajāla Sutra (meaning "Brahma's net"), which deals with the philosophical and metaphysical views of early Buddhism; The sāmañnaphala, which talks about the teachings of the six pagan masters of early Buddhism and about the results of the recluse's life; Sutra of Great Condition (mahānidāna), commentary on the doctrine of Dependent Origination; The Mahaparinibbāna Sutra (mahāparinibbāna), recounting the last days before Shakyamuni Buddha's death; The Teaching Life Sutra Thi-ca-la-viet (singālovāda), especially important for lay people, reminds the duties of parents, teachers, students… 2. The Central Sutra (Anūguttara-nikāya), is a selection. Second volume of the Nikayas. This sutra is written in Pali literature, including 152 sutras not very long (so called central). All 152 suttas are of great value in practice, especially for Vipassana meditators because in this Sutta, the Buddha explains in detail the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. Notably: The basic Dharma-door sutta, in which the Buddha analyzes the cognitive levels of four classes of people: ordinary people, educated people, Arahants and Tathagatas. On the basis of the perception of "perception" (saññājānāti) or "superior knowledge" (abhijānāti) the worldly and holy are identified, samsara and liberation are present. To liberate, The meditator only needs to transform the perception from "perception" to "winner knowledge." Sutra on all taints, the Buddha introduced seven methods of eradicating the root of taints and afflictions. Depending on the nature, the meditator chooses for himself the most suitable method to release all attachments, live peacefully and happily, right now and here. Sutra of Right View, Buddha's doctrine of Right View;[..] Sutra of Mindfulness, four areas of contemplation[..]; The Small Karma Sutra distinguishes between the external causal relationships, which are phenomena that we often encounter in our lives. Such as wealth and poverty, status and absence of status, long life and premature death… are phenomena of physics, not the domain of psychology. The Great Karma Sutra distinguishes between cause and effect relationships or career is psychologically, not physical, philosophical, and especially he focused on the role of right view - wisdom. The reason that the Buddha gave this point of view is because he said that human joy and happiness does not depend much on a long or short life, rich or poor, status or no status... it depends on human understanding or intelligence. 3. Corresponding business (Samyutta Nikaya) is the third business in the Great Tripitaka. The suttas are a collection of suttas of irregular length, but most of them are short, arranged and grouped according to each type of subject, called the Samyutta. There are a total of 56 Samyuttas arranged in 5 volumes, called 5 Devas (Vagga): Heaven With Verses (Sagàthàvagga Samyuttapàli): 11 Samyuttara Samyuttapāli (Nidànavagga Samyuttapāli): 10 Samyuttapāli Heavenly Aggregates (Khandavagga Samyuttapāli) : 13 Samyuttara Samyuttapali (Salayatanavagga Samyuttapali): 10 Samyutta Nikaya (Mahàvagga Samyuttapāli): 12 Samyuttapāli: 12 Samyuttapāli 4. Increase the branch of the Sutra (Samyutta Nikaya) is the fourth set of sutras in the Great Tripitaka. The Sangha Sutra is a series of sutras arranged according to the number of dharmas, from one dharma to eleven dharmas, divided into 11 chapters (nipàtas). Each chapter is divided into several chapters (vaggas). Chapter One (Ekaka Nipàta) consists of sutras that refer to a dharma. Chapter Two of the Dharma (Duka Nipata) consists of sutras related to two dharmas, etc., and so on comes Chapter Eleven Dharma (Ekàdasaka Nipata) which includes suttas that refer to 11 dharmas. The total number of recorded suttas is 2,308 suttas, but this number is inconsistent because the number of suttas is not clear, and some scholars calculate by the number of passages, a total of 7,557. Notable and very interesting to the practitioner, it is the Kalama Sutta. The Kālāma Sutra belongs to the Sangha (Anguttara Nikaya, Volume I, pp. 188-193), the sutra upholds the spirit of not being superstitious, fanatical or dogmatic, but wisely accepting and doing things that bring happiness to others. A very famous passage: "You Kālamas, don't believe because you've been told, don't believe because of custom, don't believe because of rumours, don't believe because of tradition, don't believe because of reason, don't believe because of the formula, don't believe because of having enough reflection on the data, don't believe because of investigation and acceptance of the theory, don't believe because it feels appropriate, don't believe because ascetic is your teacher. But when, Kalamas, do you know for yourselves: These dhammas are wholesome, these dhammas are blameless, these are praised by the wise, these dhammas, if practiced and accepted, lead to happiness. peace and happiness, in the time of the Kālās, please come and stay. What has been said thus is due to such predestined conditions.” 5. The sub-series (Khuddaka Nikaya) is the fifth and final work in the Great Canon Nikaya. This section has a different structure from the first four. Rather than being a compendium, it is a set of 15 independent works. Among those 15 works, notable are the Dhammapada (Dharma Dhammapada), and the Jatakas (The Birth Sutra). While the Dhammapada is the golden word of the Buddha, a collection of brief but meaningful teachings of the Buddha during his 45 years of teaching, the Jataka is a collection of more than five hundred folk tales, works in the collection. The collection of fables, songs, poems, and legends is artistic and literary as well as highly educational. The Khuddaka Nikaya is the fifth and final work of the Mahayana Nikaya.
