The Foundations of Buddhism

Notes

References to Pali texts are normally to the volume and page number

of the edition of the text published by the Pali Text Society (London

and Oxford); these references can be used by the reader who knows no

Pali since the pagination of the PTS editions is included in the transla-

tions cited in the bibliography below, either in the body of the text or

at the head of the page; Buddhaghosa's Visuddhimagga, however, is cited

by reference to the chapter and section of the translation (and the Harvard

1950 edition of the text). Other texts are cited in the notes by reference

to the pagination of the cited translation (and of an edition of the text,

where the latter is not included in the translation), or by reference to

the chapter (in roman numerals) and verse/section (in arabic numerals)

of the original.
