THE UDANA: INSPIRED UTTERANCES OF THE BUDDHA
Translated by John D. Ireland
The Udana is one of the loveliest and most uplifting texts in the Pali
Canon, a collection of eighty short but deeply impressive suttas. Each
sutta begins with a memorable incident that comes to the Buddha's
attention and elicits from him an "inspired utterance" expressing his
insight into the event's deeper significance. Opening at the foot of
the Bodhi Tree shortly after his Enlightenment, the Udana records some
of the best known incidents in the Master's life: his paeon of victory
over the forces of darkness; his instruction to Bahiya on "sudden
awakening"; the story of Nanda and the pink-footed nymphs; the parable
of the blind men and the elephant; the solemn Nibbana suttas; and much
more. This new translation combines precision with clarity and also
includes helpful explanatory notes drawn mostly from the Udana
Commentary.

THE ITIVUTTAKA: THE BUDDHA'S SAYINGS
Translated by John D. Ireland
The Itivuttaka is a collection of 112 short discourses of the Buddha
belonging to the Pali Canon. According to the commentarial tradition,
the suttas of the Itivuttaka were collected by the woman lay-disciple
Khujjuttara from sermons given by the Buddha while he was staying at
Kosambi. Khujjuttara, a servant in the court of King Udena, was
declared by the Buddha his most learned woman lay follower. She had
become a stream-enterer after meeting the Buddha and afterwards
converted the women of the palace to the Dhamma. She used to go
regularly to listen to the Buddha preach and then later reported what
she heard to the other women. The compilation of these sayings became
known as the Itivuttaka. The suttas of the Itivuttaka -- in mixed
prose and verse -- are elevated and profound, and at times reach a
pitch of lofty spiritual exaltation. This new translation, while
scrupulously exact, captures and conveys the inspirational flavor of
the Pali original. The book also includes helpful explanatory notes
drawn mostly from the Itivuttaka Commentary.
