| - The Samyutta Nikàya is the third book of the Sutta Pitaka, the first division of the Tipitaka, the sacred scriptures of Buddhism. The word samyutta means ‘connected’ or ‘related’. Traditionally there is said to be 7762 suttas or discourses in this book, but actually there are 2889. These discourses are arranged roughly according to features they share – subject matter, whether they have verses in them, where they were spoken or the people they were spoken to. A large proportion of the discourses in the Samyutta Nikàya were delivered by the Buddha in Sàvatthi which suggests that this book was arranged in that city.

| - Tipitaka >> Sutta Pitaka >> Samyutta Nikaya The Samyutta Nikaya ("Collection of Clustered Discourses") is the third of the five nikayas (collections) in the Sutta Pitaka. This collection is arranged in a special order by subject matter. Each group deals with a specific doctrine or personality. In this Nikaya Lord Buddha has also dealt deeply into the details of dhamma(path) w.r.t. the meditation as well as with final achievements of Jhana/Trance states. Few notable suttas are : SN 47.6 Sakunagghi Sutta , SN 36.19 Pancakanga Sutta & 4.25Maradhitu_Sutta. In 15.14-15.19 (Mata, Pitta, Bhata, Bhagini, Putta, Dhita) Buddha confirms rebirth and that every creature has been reborn so many times that all are related to each other, every creature was either mother, father, brother, sister , son or daughter in past (hence it also implies that one must have compassion towards each other i.e. non-violence). SN 22:58 What is a Buddha ? What is a Tathagta? SN 22.43 Attadipa : Be you own island (self-dependent) Satti - How to stop demon possession? SN 35.115 Marapasa - What are Powers of Mara(devil, satan, shaitan, the Lord of Death, wealth, disease, sorrow, evil etc. ) SN 36.4 Patala Sutta : What is Bottomless Chasm(pit)? SN 36.1 What is Samadhi? SN 47.41 Amata Sutta : Immortal Bliss; immortality SN 56.11 Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta : Setting the Wheel of Dhamma in Motion SN 56.46 Andhakara Sutta : What is Darkness SN 51.20 Iddhipada-vibhanga Sutta : Analysis of the Iddhi(Siddhi; Spiritual Powers) 22.76 What are Arahants(fully enlightened equal to Buddha) Samyutta Nikaya consists of 2,889 discourses, classified into 56 samyuttas (groups):
