Nikaya Nikaya
 
This Tripitaka literature has been composed
between 400 and 300 B.C. In the context of our
present survey, the most important of the three
Pitakas is the Sutta Pitaka, which is divided into
five Nikayas (Groups) as follows:
 
(1) Dīgha (long) Nikaya, a collection of long
sermons ascribed to the Buddha, with
accounts of the circumstances in which
he preached them.
 
(2) Majjhima (medium) Nikaya, a collection
of shorter sermons,
