[Full title: Distinctive Issues of the Five 狈颈办腻测补蝉 and some Important Buddhist Terms Relating the Study]

As we have seen in chapter one, section 搂1.2.5, Suttas in the Five 狈颈办腻测补蝉 are organized clearly and systematically. Traditionally, at the beginning of each Sutta, there always been a practice to present the necessary information to introduce the Sutta; that is, the cause of the discourse given; the place where the discourse is delivered; the expositor鈥檚 name; and the audience鈥� name or whom the expositor is addressing.

This 鈥渂eginning of each Sutta鈥� is also known as Six Perfections (found in the opening phrase of each Sutta); that is,

(i) 鈥淭hus,鈥� implies perfect faith,
(ii) 鈥渉ave I heard,鈥� perfect hearing,
(iii) 鈥渙nce,鈥� perfect time,
(iv) 鈥渢he Buddha,鈥� the perfect Lord or Master,
(v) 鈥渙n/at/in (the place),鈥� the perfect place;
(vi) 鈥渨ith the great assembly of bhikkhus,鈥� the perfect assembly.

And at the end of each Sutta there is always a brief conclusion of the discourse in which it often shows its affect on the hearers.

The Five 狈颈办腻测补蝉 are the repositories of the discourses of the Buddha explaining all aspects of life, human and universe, through the exposition of the Four Noble Truths, the Theory of Dependent Origination, the teaching of Non-Self, and so on, especially the Majjhima Nik膩ya seeks to focus on the themes of developing and cultivating mind and achieves to establish it on the basis of Right View (蝉补尘尘腻诲颈迟迟丑颈). In other words, knowledge and mind seem to be at the epicenter of the collections. In addition, the Five 狈颈办腻测补蝉 also throw much light on the social ideas and institutions as well as they provide general information on the economic and political life of ancient Indian days. Apart from expounding principal issues, the Five 狈颈办腻测补蝉 also give a clear and concise explanation of basic Buddhist terms and definitions. Among those, there emerge some important terminologies to be frequently repeated in the text and directly concerned to the work that need some notes.
