Kind Sir
Could you tell me where I could get a copy of "Problem and Prospects of the
Chinese Samyuktagama: Its Structure and Content" (by Choong Mun-keat).
I have his PhD thesis. I studied my BA at the same university as he.
Kind Regards

Subject: [Pali] Buddha-vacana
Dear Pali friends,
What are the contents of Buddha-vacana (the teachings of Buddha) indicated
in the Pali texts?
Recently I read an article, "Problem and Prospects of the Chinese
Samyuktagama: Its Structure and Content" (by Choong Mun-keat). This article
shows that according to the Bahubhumika of the Yogacarabhumi-sastra,
Buddha-vacana should contain these nine topics:
1. Five Aggregates, 2. Sense Spheres, 3. Causal Conditions, 4. Four
Nutriments, 5. Four Truths, 6. Dhatus, 7. Buddha & Sravakas, 8. Four
Stations of Minfulness, etc., of the bodhipaksya-dharmas, and 9. Eight
Assembles.
Although most of these topics are also the major teachings (of the Buddha)
found in the Pali suttas and Abhidhammas, the Pali tradition may not have
the same contents for the term, Buddha-vacana. Are there any explanations or
definitions of Buddha-vacana indicated in the Pali texts?
Thank you for your advice.
Sincerely,
Thomas Law
