The
Pali canon is a vast body of literature: in English translation the
texts add up to thousands of printed pages. Most (but not all) of the
Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although
only a small fraction of these texts are available on this website, this
collection can be a good place to start.
The three divisions of the Tipitaka are:
Vinaya Pitaka
The collection of texts concerning the rules of conduct governing the
daily affairs within the Sangha — the community of bhikkhus (ordained
monks) and bhikkhunis (ordained
nuns). Far more than merely a list of rules, the Vinaya Pitaka also
includes the stories behind the origin of each rule, providing a
detailed account of the Buddha’s solution to the question of how to
maintain communal harmony within a large and diverse spiritual
community.
Sutta Pitaka
The
collection of suttas, or discourses, attributed to the Buddha and a few
of his closest disciples, containing all the central teachings of
Theravada Buddhism. (More than one thousand sutta translations are
available on this website.) The suttas are divided among five nikayas (collections):
Digha Nikaya — the “long collection”
Majjhima Nikaya — the “middle-length collection”
Samyutta Nikaya — the “grouped collection”
Anguttara Nikaya — the “further-factored collection”
Khuddaka Nikaya — the “collection of little texts”:
Khuddakapatha
Dhammapada
Udana
Itivuttaka
Sutta Nipata
Vimanavatthu
Petavatthu
Theragatha
Therigatha
Jataka
Niddesa
Patisambhidamagga
Apadana
Buddhavamsa
Cariyapitaka
Nettippakarana (included only in the Burmese edition of the Tipitaka)
Petakopadesa ( ” ” )
Milindapañha ( ” ” )
Abhidhamma Pitaka
The
collection of texts in which the underlying doctrinal principles
presented in the Sutta Pitaka are reworked and reorganized into a
systematic framework that can be applied to an investigation into the
nature of mind and matter.

The arrival of Buddhism in Scotland is relatively recent. In Scotland
Buddhists represent 0.13% of the population.[1] People were asked both
their current religion and that they were brought up in. 6,830 people
gave Buddhism as their current religion, and 4,704 said they were
brought up in it, with an overlap of 3,146.[2]

History of Buddhism in Scotland
The earliest Buddhist influence on Scotland came through its imperial
connections with South East Asia, and as a result the early connections
were with the Theravada traditions of Burma, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. To
begin with, 150 years ago, this response was primarily scholarly, and a
tradition of study grew up that eventually resulted in the foundation
of the Pali Text Society, which undertook the huge task of translating
the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhist texts into English.
The main stupa at Samyé Ling monastery in Scotland
The rate of growth was slow but steady through the century, and the
1950s saw the development of interest in Zen Buddhism. In 1967 Kagyu
Samyé Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre was founded by Tibetan lamas and
refugees Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Akong Rinpoche. It is in
Eskdalemuir, in south west Scotland and is the largest Tibetan Buddhist
centre in Western Europe, and part of the Karma Kagyu tradition.
As well there are other Buddhism-based new religious movements such as
the New Kadampa Tradition, Triratna Buddhist Community and Sōka Gakkai
International. The Triratna community maintains a retreat centre at
Balquhidder in the Trossachs.
Samyé Ling
Kagyu Samyé Ling
Monastery and Tibetan Centre monastery—founded in 1967[3]—includes the
largest Buddhist temple in western Europe. There is an associated
community on Holy Isle which is owned by Samyé Ling who belong to the
Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. The settlements on the island include
the Centre for World Peace and Health and a retreat centre for nuns.
Samyé Ling has also established centres in more than 20 countries,
including Belgium, Ireland, Poland, South Africa, Spain and
Switzerland.[4]

e cruinneachadh de bhun-Pali cànan theacsaichean, der teagasgail nam
bunait Theravada Buddhism. Tha na teacsaichean Tipitaka agus Paracanonical Pali (beachdan,
litrichean, msaa) còmhla mar bhuidheann iomlan de theacsaichean
clasaigeach Theravada.
Is
e buidheann mòr de litreachas a th’ann an canon Pali: ann an
eadar-theangachadh Beurla tha na teacsaichean a ‘cur suas ri mìltean de

a ‘chuid as motha (ach chan eil a h-uile h-uile) den Canon air
fhoillseachadh an-toiseach sa Bheurla thar nam bliadhnaichean. Selv om kun en lille del af disse tekster er tilgængelige på denne hjemmeside, kan denne samling være et godt sted at starte.

a-steach Vinaya Pitaka også na sgeulachdan air cùl an tùs gach

agus beagan de na deiscioblaidhean ab ‘fhaisge aige, anns a bheil prìomh
theagasg Theravada Buddhism. (Tha barrachd air mìle eadar-theangachadh ri fhaighinn air an
làrach-lìn seo.) Tha na h-eadar-theangachadh air an roinn am measg còig
nikayas (cruinneachaidhean):
