• In 9.1 it should be “one of the mendicants”.
• In 9.2 it should probably be “go the the mendicants staying on the bank …”.
• 9.3 should open with a single quote and close with a single and then a double quote.

thanks, fixed.

@sabbamitta

And the same also applies to segment 8.5.

Yes, and the text “he wants to see you” should be added. Fixed.

@sabbamitta

if you harm them with a stick

Use harm

“your for refuge” should be “you for refuge”.

Indeed it should, thanks.

@sabbamitta

Remove “live crowded by”.

fixed.

@DhammaDavid

I noticed a typo in the “Introduction to SuttaCentral” essay

Oh thanks, fixed.

@DhammaDavid

A semicolon is used between the words “material” and “either” where a comma might be preferred.

I have reprashed this as it was clumsy, but I retain the semicolon, as otherwise it might sound as if there were three items in a list. What do you think?

Note that in the Chinese canon there’s usually some extra material in addition to the full Āgama; either individually translated suttas or partial collections.

@DhammaDavid

punctuation error in the fourth sentence under the “Just jump in” section.

Same applies here. I guess it’s my style.

@DhammaDavid

There appears to be a dead link in the “Getting Started” essay. Under the “Structured courses and guides” section, the link for “The Sutta Discovery Series”

Thanks. I also took the chance to remove rel='noopener' target='_blank' from links, it’s not good for accessibility.

@sabbamitta

There is no need to have closing quotes at the end of one line and again opening quotes at the beginning of the next. It’s all the same speaker. How about a colon after “verse”?

Yes, fixed.

@sabbamitta

Should be “assembly” instead of “Saṅgha”.

Indeed.

@sabbamitta

There are two tables in this essay, and first comes table 2, later table 1. Maybe the numbering should be switched around.

done.

@sabbamitta

And, btw, this essay is very hard to find on the website.

@Sunyo

When one does not recognize the near shore, the far shore, or both; stress-free, detached, that’s who I call a brahmin.” This sounds off, as ‘far shore’ usually means nibbāna, and the brahmin knows nibbāna.

This is turning into an essay:

On the "far shore" in dhp 385

Ven Sunyo makes the following astute observations about Dhp 385: Dhp385: Yassa pāraṁ apāraṁ vā, pārāpāraṁ na vijjati; Vītaddaraṁ visaṁyuttaṁ, tamahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ. “When one does not recognize the near shore, the far shore, or both; stress-free, detached, that’s who I call a brahmin.” This sounds off, as ‘far shore’ usually means nibbāna, and the brahmin knows nibbāna. I think the meaning of pāraṁ here is paro loko, as Snp1.1: So bhikkhu jahāti orapāraṁ where you do translate it as ‘the n…
