From the Rhys Davids Introduction: "It would be difficult to estimate too highly the historical value of this Sutta. There can be no reasonable doubt that the very ancient tradition accepted by all Buddhists as to the substance of the discourse is correct, and that we really have in it a summary of the words in which the great Indian thinker and reformer for the first time successfully promulgated his new ideas. And it presents to us in a few short and pithy sentences the very essence of that remarkable system which has had so profound an influence on the religious history of so large a portion of the human race."

An audio discussion concerning the origin and authenticity of the suttas. The Buddhist Society of Western Austrialia The Hidden Structure of the Buddhist Scriptures This is a fascinating and important listen for anyone interested in getting down to the original teachings of the Buddha! Ajahn Sujato's well argued thesis (based precisely on comparing sutta with sutta) is that the original teachings of the Buddha are found in the Samyutta Nikaya, with some spill-over into the Digha, Majjhima and Anguttara Nikayas. He proposes that the term "sutta" in the idea of "comparing sutta with sutta" has the specific meaning of a discourse presented as a direct statement by the Buddha; that discourses from disciples are a second category, the Vibhanga or Analysis category, and are recognizable by their predominantly question-and-answer format. He suggests that the Samyutta originally began with the Dhamma-Cakkappa-Vattana Sutta and that this Nikaya, and therefore the original layout of the whole of the Dhamma was organized according to the scheme of the Four Truths. His most controversial point is that the Satipatthana is a likely late amalgam (his word is forgery! haha) of bits and scraps found in the Samyutta. The next FREE Please! publication for some scholar/meditator/translator to contemplate is a new book of translations organized according to Ajahn Sujato's scheme.
