Re: The Yin Shun's book

Hello Piya tan and Stephen

Fantastic that you are going ahead with translating Yin Shun's work.
I think this will have an important impact on how we think about our
scritural heritage.

One of Yin Shun's theses is that the original collection consisted
of just the three angas - sutta, geyya, vyakarana. A central piece
of evidence is that just these three alone are mentioned in the
Mahasunnata Sutta in the both Pali (MN122) and Chinese (MA190). I
have been trying to see if there is any additional support for this
idea in the textual records, and have come up with a few snippets.
But the Mahasunnata Sutta has a Tibetan counterpart, too (P957; P
XXXVIII 279). I wonder if this also mentions the 3 angas? Could
someone look this up?
