Suttanipata

"Sutta-nipata" - a widely known Buddhist text, a collection of suttas that is part of "Khuddaka-nikaya", the last section of the "Sutta-pitaka", the second "basket" of the "Tipitaka". It serves as the foundation of the Theravada teaching - the oldest school of Buddhism. "Sutta Nipata" holds undisputed authority among followers of the ancient religion, the foundations of which were laid by Gautama Buddha. This work addresses a wide range of questions that are vital for all those who embark on the path of spiritual perfection: this includes attitudes towards the external world, adherence to the basic rules of morality, as well as the difficulties encountered on the path to attaining peace and harmony through renunciation of worldly temptations and self-discipline.
