Because the Queen could not leave the palace to hear the Buddha's discourses, Khujjuttara went in her place, memorized what the Buddha said, and then returned to the palace to teach the Queen and her 500 ladies-in-waiting. For her efforts, the Buddha cited Khujjuttara as the foremost of his laywomen disciples in terms of her learning.

This Milinda has been identified with considerable confidence by scholars as the Greek king Menander of Bactria, in the dominion founded by Alexander the Great, which corresponds with much of present day Afghanistan.

It consists of 423 verses arranged according to the topics in twenty-six vaggas or chapters. The Dhammapada describes the path which a wayfarer should follow. It states that all conditioned things are transitory and impermanent; that all conditioned things are subject to suffering; and that all things (dhammas) are insubstantial, incapable of being called one's own. When one sees the nature of things with Vipassana insight, one becomes disillusioned with the charms and attractions of the five aggregates. Such disillusionment constitutes the path of purity (nibbana).\u003cbr\u003eThe Khuddakapatha is a collection of nine formulae and suttas which are arranged in such a way as to form a continuous theme, demonstrating the practice of the holy life. It includes how a person accepts the Buddha's teaching by taking refuge in the Three Gems and then how he observes the ten precepts for moral purification. Next he meditates on the 32 constituents of the body, to develop non-attachment. He is shown next the virtues and merits of giving and how one handicaps oneself by not performing acts of merit. In the meanwhile he safeguards himself by reciting the Mangala Sutta and provides protection to others by reciting the Ratana sutta. Finally, he develops loving-kindness towards all beings, thereby keeping himself safe from harm. At the same time he achieves jhana concentration which will eventually lead him to reach the goal of spiritual life, nibbana, by means of knowledge of insight and the path.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVol. 2 (1935, 1985), tr.

I.B. Horner-\u003c\/b\u003e Buddhavamsa (Chronicle of Buddhas) gives a short historical account of Gotama Buddha and of the twenty-four buddhas who had prophesied his attainment of Buddhahood. It consists of twenty-nine sections in verse.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe first section gives an account of how the Venerable Sariputta asks the Buddha when it was that he first resolved to work for the attainment of buddhahood and what paramis (virtues towards perfection) he had fulfilled to achieve his goal of perfect enlightenment. In the second section, the Buddha describes how as Sumedha the hermit, being inspired by Dipankara Buddha, he makes the resolution to become a buddha, and how the buddha Dipankara gives the hermit Sumedha his blessing prophesying that Sumedha would become a Buddha by the name of Gotama after a lapse of four asankheyyas and a hundred thousand kappas (world cycles).\u003cbr\u003eFrom then onwards, the bodhisatta Sumedha keeps on practising the ten paramis namely: alms-giving, morality, renunciation, wisdom, perserverance, tolerance, truthfulness, determination, loving-kindess and equanimity. Buddha relates how he fulfills these paramis, existence after existence, and how each of the twenty-four Buddhas, who appeared after Dipankara Buddha at different intervals of world cycles, renewed the prophesy that he would become a Buddha by the name of Gotama. In sections three to twenty-seven are accounts of the twenty-five Buddhas including Gotama Buddha, giving details about each of them with regard to birth, status, names of their parents, names of their wives and children, their lifespan, their way of renunciation, duration of their efforts to Buddhahood, their teaching of the Dhammacakka Sutta in the Migadayayana, the names of their chief disciples and their chief lay disciples. Each section closes with an account of where the Buddhas pass away and how their relics are distributed.\u003cbr\u003eIn the twenty-eighth section is given the names of three Buddhas who lived before Dipankara Buddha at different intervals of the same world cycle. The names of other Buddhas (up to Gotama Buddha) are also enumerated together with the name of the kappas in which they have appeared. Finally there is a prophesy by the Buddha that Metteyya Buddha would arise after him in this world.\u003cbr\u003eThe last section gives an account of how the Buddha's relics are distributed and where they are preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCariyapitaka (Basket of Conduct) contains thirty-five stories of the Buddha's previous lives retold at the request of the Venerable Sariputta. Whereas the Jataka is concerned with Buddha's previous existences from the time of Sumedha, the hermit, till he became Gotama Buddha, Cariyapitaka deals only with thirty-five of the existences of the bodhisatta in this last world cycle. The Venerable Sariputta's object in making the request is to highlight the indomitable will, the supreme effort, the peerless sacrifice with which the bodhisatta conducts himself in fulfillment of the ten paramis (virtues towards perfection).\u003cbr\u003eThe bodhisatta has, throughout innumerable ages, fulfilled the ten paramis for a countless number of times. Cariyapitaka records such performances in thirty-five existences, selecting seven out of the ten paramis, and recounts how each parami is accomplished in each of these existences. Ten stories in the first vagga are concerned with the accumulation of virtues in alms-giving, the second vagga has ten stories on the practice of morality and the last vagga mentions fifteen stories, five of them dealing with renunciation, one with firm determination, six with truthfulness, two with loving-kindness and one with equanimity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePTS Pali \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.pariyatti.org\/Buddhavamsa-and-Cariyapitaka_p_1929.html\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 0, 0); \"\u003eBuddhavamsa and Cariyapitaka\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVol. 4 (1974, 1993), tr.

Here it refers to celestial mansions gained by beings who have done acts of merit. In this text are eighty-five verses grouped in seven vaggas. In the first four vaggas, celestial females give an account of the acts of merit they have performed in previous existences as human beings and of their rebirth in deva realms where magnificent mansions await their appearance. In the last three vaggas the celestial males tell their stories.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Venerable Maha Mogallana, who could visit the deva realm, brought back stories as told to him by the devas concerned and recounted them to the Buddha who confirmed the stories by supplying more background details to them. These discourses were given to bring out the fact that the human world offers plenty of opportunities for performing meritorious acts. The objective for such discourses was to refute the wrong view of those who believe that nothing exists after this life (the annihilationists) and those who maintain that there is no resultant effect to any action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vivid accounts of the lives of the devas in various deva abodes serve to show clearly that the higher beings are not immortals, nor creators, but are also evolved conditioned by the result of their previous meritorious deeds. They too are subject to the laws of annica, dukka and anatta and have to strive themselves to achieve the deathless state of nibbana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories of petas are graphic accounts of the miserable beings who have been reborn in unhappy extistences as a consequence of their evil deeds. There are fifty-one stories divided into four vaggas, describing the life of misery of the evil-doers, in direct contrast to the magnificent life of the devas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmphasis is again laid on the beneficial effects of giving; whereas envy, jealousy, miserliness, greed and wrong views are shown to be the causes of one's appearance in the unhappy world of the petas. The chief suffering in this state is shown as the severe lack of food, clothing and dwelling places for the condemned being. A certain and immediate release from such miseries can be given to the unfortunate being if his former relatives perform meritorious deeds and share their merits with him. In Tirokuttapeta Vatthu, a detailed account is given on how King Bimbisara brings relief to his former relatives who are unfortunately suffering as petas. King Bimbisara does this by making generous offerings of food, clothing and dwelling places to the Buddha and his company of bhikkhus and sharing the merit thus accrued with the petas who have been his kin in previous lives.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e—Excerpted from U Ko Lay's \u003ca href=\"product.asp?itemid=1661\"\u003eEssence of Tipitaka\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minor Anthologies Vol. III is being discontinued (remaining stock is still available).

It is the third book of the Minor Collection (Khuddaka Nikaya), found between the Dhammapada and the Itivuttaka.

Woodward and published together with his translation of the Ud na in Minor Anthologies of the Pali Canon, Vol. II (London, 1935).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAccording to the commentarial tradition, the suttas or discourses of the Itivuttaka were collected by the woman lay-disciple Khujjuttar  from sermons given by the Buddha while he was staying at Kosamb . Khujjuttar  was a servant of S m vat , the consort of King Udena. She had become a stream-enterer after meeting the Buddha and subsequently converted the women of the palace headed by Samavat� to the teaching. She used to go regularly to listen to the Buddha and then later repeated what she had heard to the other women. The collection of these sayings became the Itivuttaka. It is said that the emphatic statements at the beginning and end of each of the suttas, reproduced here only in the first and last, were made by Khujjuttar  to stress that they were the Buddha s words and not her own.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhether or not this story is true, the Itivuttaka is the only book in the Pali Canon that introduces and concludes its suttas in this fashion, and it is from the opening statement that the title is derived:  This was said (vutta�) by the Lord   so (iti) I heard  hence Itivuttaka,  The So-was-said  or  Sayings. \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Ireland, John D.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42101589278814,"sku":"AMZNKDP778720","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/3677\/0142\/files\/778720_f7aa1265-0ad0-4330-aace-1ef0d424abde.jpg?v=1760548604"},{"product_id":"5149","title":"Dhammapada: Verses \u0026 Stories","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick Google Preview button to look inside the book.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cscript type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books\/previewlib.js\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\u003cscript type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003eGBS_setLanguage('en');GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9781681721217');\u003c\/script\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThe Dhammapada is the second book of the Khuddaka Nikāya of the Sutta(nta) Pi aka, consisting of 423 verses in 26 chapters arranged under various headings. These verses were culled from various discourses given by the Buddha in the course of 45 years of his teaching, as he travelled in the valley of the Ganges (Ganga) and the sub-mountain tract of the Himalayas. Through them the Buddha exhorts one to achieve that greatest of all conquests, the conquest of self; to escape from the evils of craving, aversion and ignorance; and to strive hard to attain freedom from the round of rebirths. Each verse contains a truth (dhamma), an exhortation, a piece of advice. The verses were translated into English from the Dhammapada Pāli the text approved by the Sixth International Buddhist Council.

The most popular collection of Buddhist stories is, without doubt, the J takas. These are the stories of the Buddha's past births, relating his experiences as he passed from life to life on the way to becoming a Buddha. At times he takes the form of a bird, at times he is born as a hare, a monkey, a prince, a merchant, or an ascetic, but in each case he uses the challenges he meets to grow in generosity, virtue, patience, wisdom, and compassion. This anthology of Jatakas, ably told by Ken and Visakha Kawasaki, remains faithful to the original yet presents the stories in clear and simple language. It thereby makes the J takas accessible even to young readers and to those for whom English is not their first language.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI hope that this collection of J taka stories entertaining, uplifting, absorbing, at times amusing, but always fascinating will enable the modern reader to appreciate the impressive literary heritage of Buddhism and the simple beauty of its basic teachings.\u003c\/p\u003e  —Ven.
