suttafriends.org

a website I have just discovered and I think it is very good is suttafriends.org.
It is more than just a collection of suttas, it is more like a complete system of systematized information about suttas.

Thanks for that ShanJieshi2.

I read a half a dozen sutra’s while taking a gander at the site, it seems a good place for casually reading through them.

Thanks for sharing. I find the search feature and user interface on this site much more friendly than on https://www.accesstoinsight.org/ while both have a quality of content I appreciate so far. I'll keep checking out the resources there.

But you should always have suttacentral at hand...I have looked up some terms on both pages and the bottom line is in favour of suttacentral.

Suitors are our friends? Not if we are a None.

Eh wait … must learn to spell. Suttas and Nuns. Got it!

Suttas are our Dharma Friends. So many friends I haz. No need for Farcebook or other unsocial madia …

Many thanks @ShanJieshi2

It’s good to see that buddhism is flourishing on the internet, isn’t it? I’ve added suttafriends.org to other places where I have kept this list, I think it’s a very worthy addition.

It's quite nice. Especially since diving into all that feels like a healthier way to spend my time than most others.

My experience was always that practice and sutra study are best done hand in hand. Its not necessary to devote equal time, but to have a little time on a fairly regular basis to study the words of the buddha is beneficial judging from years gone past.
