CITATIONS OF TEXTS FROM THE PALI CANON AND COMMENTARIES
The Pali Canon (Tripiṭaka, the three baskets) consists of the Vinaya Piṭaka (basket of disciplinary rules), the Sūtra Piṭaka (basket of discourses), and the Abhidhamma Piṭaka (basket of treatises). For a comprehensive outline of the Pali Canon see Russell Webb, “An Analysis of the Pali Canon” (Kandy, Sri Lanka: Buddhist Publication Society, 1991), available online as publication WH 217–20 from the Buddhist Publication Society, www.bps.lk/onlinelibrary_wheels.asp.
Translations from the Pali Canon and commentaries are cited with the common name of the text followed by its volume and page number in the Pali Text Society’s (PTS) roman-script Pali editions, in square brackets, using the abbreviations below. In some cases, chapter and verses are cited instead. Many translations of the Pali Canon include PTS page references, enabling comparisons between translations.
