Is there a good on line english version of the Pali Canon which can be studied by anyone interested?

A quick google failed to find what I'm looking for.

with thanks

You can find much of it here: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/index.html

In my opinion, the best translations of the suttas are those done by Bhikkhu Bodhi available from Wisdom Publications.

I don't think the whole English version is available online. It's huge.

That should keep me busy.

Thanks.

Thanks camerata.

Hopefully the Access for Insight material should cover most of my needs.

accesstoinsight.com is (afaik) the best online source for english translations of the canon.

Another source is : http://www.metta.lk/ ... sometimes one can find a sutta here that is not on ATI... but most of the translations are a bit dated. The site is worth checking out for other writings as well.

Another source is : http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/index.htm

in the "Southern Buddhism" section you will find many of the original late 19th century translations. The language can sound a bit florid to the modern ear... but might be worth a look.

Bhikkhu Bodhi's translations are well worth the purchase price. I think the Buddhist Publication Society's prices might even have come down in recent years. Their website is worth a look... they intend to offer more free translations in their online library.

Thanks Mohinga.

Excellent resource for my library.
