AN4.169:2.1: Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo diṭṭheva dhamme sasaṅkhāraparinibbāyī hoti?
And how is a person fully is fully extinguished in this very life by making extra effort?

“Is fully” is too much. Again in segment 3.1.

In AN5.35 and AN5.38 we find parinibbāti anāsavo, each time translated “the undefiled are fully extinguished”. Pali is singular, English plural.

In Snp3.12 the Pali is in fact plural, parinibbanti anāsavā, and here the English reads “the undefiled become fully extinguished”. “Become” versus “are”.

I wonder if you could be swayed to change the blurb for SN22.101 to the more universally understood “chicken”. I thought it was a typo, fwiw.

“sn-blurbs:sn22.101”: “Contemplating the aggregates leads to liberation, but this may not be immediately apparent. The Buddha illustrates this with similes of a chook sitting on eggs, the wearing away of an axe handle, and the rotting of a ship’s rigging.”,

MN49:8.1: ‘Ahampi kho evaṁ, brahme, jānāmi:
‘the Divinity, I too know that

This is the Buddha addressing Brahma. The article feels strange here, perhaps he should just address him as “divinity”. But if the article is used, it should be spelled with a capital, as it is the start of the sentence.

Bhante @sujato at SN2.8:8.3 there’s a large blank space where the repeated Pali verse from earlier in the sutta has been omitted.

169

I’m guessing you are on FireFox? This is a known issue. It’s very large on FF, not so big on Chrome.

Thanks Bhante. This is Chrome, but I guess the blank space is proportional to the length of the omitted Pali verse:

Is there still that much space when Pali is not shown? You can type v key to toggle the Pali.

It’s noticeably large, even without the Pali:

If the omitted verse was longer, I think the space would be even larger.

Interesting. I see that much space on Firefox (where I believe the problem has been known for some time) However this is what I see on Chrome (Version 131.0.6778.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)) Win11:

Hmm. It appears to be a Brave thing. Odd. I just installed brave and confirm I see the same as you.

Bhante @sujato, while I am about to edit all the cases of Brahmā as a personal designation of a deity to “Göttlichkeit” (divinity), I start having doubts about it. Should we really refer to Brahmā as “Divinity”, while Māra remains in its Pali form? I feel we should either give both of these a translated name, or none of them. What do you think? :thinking:

Here are typos I have found so far in site articles:

In Home page

  • redundant space after period

SuttaCentral brings these together and makes them freely available.-

In Methodology article

  • redundant ‘s’ in seems

While the method might seems a little arcane at first, once you have remembered a few abbreviations it is really quite simple.

  • missing ‘are’?

In almost all cases, it is clear that a particular rule is a full parallel of the other rules, in the sense that they different versions of the same “thing”.

In General guide

  • Khuddaka Nikāya isn’t bold, whereas other Nikāyas are in bold in the list

Sutta Piṭaka (Basket of Discourses)

  • Dīgha Nikāya (Long Discourses)
  • Majjhima Nikāya (Middle Discourses)
  • Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)
  • Aṅguttara Nikāya (Numbered Discourses)
  • Khuddaka Nikāya (Minor Discourses)

In Long discourses guide

  • collected → connected

Curiously enough, however, it is not found among the collected connected discourses on the path found in the last book of the Saṁyutta.

  • excess sutta in

The Great Discourse on the Harvest of Deeds (Mahāpadānasuttasutta)

In Middle length discourses guide

  • redundant whitespace before period

with the lessening of greed and hate they reach the state of a once-returner .

  • long ā in Mahā-

The traditional account says that this was on the instigation of the Buddha’s step-mother, Mahapajāpatī Gotamī

  • redundant ‘the’

Venerables Sāriputta and Moggallāna speak of the those who have “blemishes”

  • unclosed parentheses

The Shorter Discourse at Gosiṅga (Cūḷagosiṅgasutta depicts an idyllic fellowship

in Linked discourses guide

  • whitespace after opening parenthesis

and the Pali texts as “I am that” ( SN 22.8: eso hamasmi)

  • missing ‘m’ in dhammānupassanā

The quality of wisdom, for example, is called “observation of principles” (dhamānupassanā)

  • sutta number SN 46.56 → SN 46.55.
    SN 46.56 Is Abhayasutta, whereas the text mentions Saṅgāravasutta (SN 46.55)

In SN 46.56, a brahmin asks the Buddha why he can sometimes remember his chanting and sometimes cannot.

  • sutta number SN 45.6 → SN 46.6

The set as a whole emerges from the practice of the four kinds of mindfulness meditation and the series of practices that underlie them (SN 45.6)

On Subjects page

  • Link to MN 107 is broken because of redundant ‘.’ in the hyperlink

I know they are more or less synonyms, but it probably would be more clear to have a consistent translation.

Paccayika is generally translated “dependable”, but in AN70:22.1 it is “trustworthy”.

Ajahn @Brahmali, there’s an issue with the titles of the English translation all over the vinaya. For example, these are from the Khandhakas:

grafik1761×3216 279 KB

Most of the titles don’t translate the names of the khandhakas, but instead the name of the first chapter of the respective khandhaka, i.e. “The account of Mahapajapati” instead of Bhikkhuni Khandhaka, “Being uncomfortable” instead of Pavarana Khandhaka, etc.
Similar issues occur all throughout the vinaya. For example, the bhikkhuni pacittiya about garlic:

Yes, there is a problem here, and it needs to be sorted. I hope to get this done once I am back to Perth at the beginning of the new year.

Thanks, but these are in fact already fixed. It just takes time for the fix to propagate from bilara to SuttaCentral.

Thanks!

Thank you!

This too is already fixed, but again it takes time before it shows up on SuttaCentral. Glad to hear you enjoyed my talk!

:+1: :grinning:

Thanks, this is an html issue. @HongDa would you be able to fix this up?
