The Udana & The Itivuttaka (Two Classics from the Pali Canon)

---

One of the first authenticated mentions of the blind men and the elephant and their difficulty in describing one is in the Udana as told by the Buddha.rnrnThese are largely short discourses arousing faith and vigour. Strong, entertaining stuff, with graphic descriptions of Nibbana and the fruits of the good life.rnrnThe Ittivuttaka was according to tradition preserved by a little known female disciple of the Buddha who happened to be however, his chief female lay disciple - Khujjuttara. She walked with a limp and this is her contribution to civilisation.rnrnThese two books of the Kuddaka Nikaya have been well translated by the late J. Ireland and come together in a volume independent of the PTS. It is one of Ireland's last works of translation. I'd put this on my wish list, for when I'm down or when I'm really happy.
