Glossary

This Glossary is created to help clarifying some translation issues of the Tipitaka. Also, this is a good start for serching if you are looking for some technical terms.

Everyone is invited to help completing this glossary
We realize that there is no single good and unified way to translate the Tipitaka. Some Pali terms translate many ways. For example, the famous term Dukka is generally translated suffering, but some scholars prefer oppression, dissatisfaction, or disease.
