Pāḷi English Dictionary]
It is understood that this tool is not of much use as it stands. It is being placed on the site with the idea that it is a work likely to take as much as two to three years to complete. There is every likelihood that it will not be completed by me (dukkha happens). So in order for the material that is completed to be available to future generations while not imposing the stress of a likely unmeetable deadline to complete it on myself, it is being put up in its most advanced state and will be updated frequently, but is not being presented as a finished or even very useful work. The source images for the four Nikāyas are located here.
—p.p.
This is a simple book-style search tool which can be used to find suttas dealing with a large variety of subjects relating to the Buddha's teaching. It is based on the PTS sutta translation indexes and points to the Sutta Index of this site for most translations, and to the page(s) where the subject can be found for the PTS translations. In both cases the reader is expected to have to do a little reading to find the exact thing he seeks.
A book-style index was decided upon over that of a computer-style search tool (e.g., Goggle) as a consequence of the observation that most people cannot find what they are looking for unless they know the exact wording which will bring them there. Here the user is expected to browse the content of the index to find wording likely to bring him to what he seeks. A further advantage to a book-style index is the discovery of many subjects unthoughtof before; something entirely missing from computer searches.
For a dictionary of Pāḷi terms see this site's version of the Pāḷi Text Society's Pāḷi-English Dictionary. The full 2-volume edition of the Dictionary of Pāḷi Proper Names [DPPN] is available in ![[DPPN]](../../resources/images/pdf.gif "[DPPN]"){kind=small}
PDF form for reading or download from the Files and Dow loads page.
Problems at this point (linking from the digitization of the Index of Dialogues of the Buddha, Volume 1 only):
Many of the links will point to introductions to the suttas and may have no relevance to the non PTS translations;
Many of the links in the page links to the PTS editions will be to footnotes and the footnotes which are, in the hard copy, on the page where they are cited, are here, for obvious reasons, all collected at the end of the file — the reader will need to find the footnote link within the text and click that to get to the footnote (there are return links).
