What constitutes the word of the Buddha?
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2010 12:41 pm
For personal interest I'm reading up on buddhavacana or "the word of the Buddha" and looking at the ancient sources including Nagarjuna and Vasubandhu.
I've come across the following articles in English which are available for free download as .pdf files. I hope others might make use of them as well.
If anyone would like to discuss any of the points raised in the articles, that would be interesting too.

It never ceases to amaze me that whenever I need something for my dharma practise, usually in the form of books or a teaching, it just "appears". These articles go into just the information I was pondering over painfully lately.
