What does SUTTA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A discourse or sermon attributed to the Buddha, forming part of the Pali Buddhist scriptures known as the Sutta Pitaka.
A sutta is a recorded teaching or dialogue attributed to the Buddha, preserved in the Pali language and gathered into large collections that make up much of Theravada Buddhist scripture. Each sutta typically records the setting in which the Buddha spoke, the audience he addressed, and the teaching itself, often on subjects such as ethical conduct, meditation, or the nature of suffering. The word sutta is closely related to the Sanskrit sutra, both descending from the same root, though sutta is used specifically for Pali Buddhist texts rather than Hindu or Jain ones. Monks and scholars continue to study and chant suttas as a central part of Theravada practice.
