The word “long” refers to the length of the individual discourses, not the collection as a whole, which is in fact the smallest of the five Pali Nikāyas. It is one of the fundamental collections of early Buddhist teachings, depicting the Buddha in a lively range of settings. Compared to other collections it contains more extended narratives in diverse literary styles. Many discourses feature interreligious dialog with brahmins and other non-Buddhists. This collection parallels the Dīrghāgama (DA) of the Dharmaguptaka school, which is the first text in the Taishō edition of the Chinese canon. Several uncollected suttas in Chinese and Sanskrit also belong to this collection. Two-thirds of a Dīrghāgama from the Sarvāstivāda school has been found, but only small portions have been published.</span></p>","hasContent":true,"isFirst":false,"isLast":false},{"id":"para_7","index":6,"start":3008,"offset":367,"words":1,"paraNum":"","lastModified":1590745303000,"semanticType":"header-chapter-header","voicework":"no_audio","blockId":"digha_nikaya_the_long_discourses_of_the_buddha_oce34d6013d3e9976d7693ba158a056b8e3-blfl","language":"en","wordsRange":{"start":959000000,"end":961000000},"paragraphVersion":80,"direction":"ltr","paragraph":"<h2 class=\"ilm-header ilm-h2\" id=\"para_7\" semantictype=\"header-chapter-header\" data-ilmid=\"digha_nikaya_the_long_discourses_of_the_buddha_oce34d6013d3e9976d7693ba158a056b8e3-blfl\" data-chapter=\"para_7\" data-words-count=\"1\" data-before=\"154\" data-ww=\"\"><span class=\"block-pb\"> <span class=\"block-pb is-animated\"></span> </span><span class=\"itm-wrap\">Guide </span></h2>","hasContent":true,"isFirst":false,"isLast":false},{"id":"para_8","index":7,"start":3375,"offset":400,"words":2,"paraNum":"","lastModified":1590745303000,"semanticType":"header-subheader","voicework":"no_audio","blockId":"digha_nikaya_the_long_discourses_of_the_buddha_oce34d6013d3e9976d7693ba158a056b8e3-blfm","language":"en","wordsRange":{"start":1061000000,"end":1064000000},"paragraphVersion":1358,"direction":"ltr","paragraph":"<h3 class=\"ilm-header ilm-center ilm-h3\" id=\"para_8\" semantictype=\"header-subheader\" data-ilmid=\"digha_nikaya_the_long_discourses_of_the_buddha_oce34d6013d3e9976d7693ba158a056b8e3-blfm\" data-chapter=\"para_8\" data-words-count=\"2\" data-before=\"155\" data-ww=\"\"><span class=\"block-pb\"> <span class=\"block-pb is-animated\"></span> </span><span class=\"itm-wrap\"><b>Sīlakkhandha </b><b>Vagga</b></span></h3>","hasContent":true,"isFirst":false,"isLast":false},{"id":"para_9","index":8,"start":3775,"offset":920,"words":91,"paraNum":"g.1","lastModified":1590745303000,"semanticType":"par","voicework":"no_audio","blockId":"digha_nikaya_the_long_discourses_of_the_buddha_oce34d6013d3e9976d7693ba158a056b8e3-blfn","language":"en","wordsRange":{"start":1164000000,"end":1256000000},"paragraphVersion":583,"direction":"ltr","paragraph":"<p id=\"para_9\" semantictype=\"par\" data-ilmid=\"digha_nikaya_the_long_discourses_of_the_buddha_oce34d6013d3e9976d7693ba158a056b8e3-blfn\" data-words-count=\"91\" data-before=\"157\" data-ww=\"\"><span class=\"block-num\" data-id=\"g.1\"></span><span class=\"block-pb\"> <span class=\"block-pb is-animated\"></span> </span><span class=\"itm-wrap\">The Chapter Containing the Section on Ethics (Sīlakkhandhavagga) is a chapter of 13 discourses.
