Khuddaka Nikāya
The Khuddaka Nikāya (lit. ’Minor Collection’) is the last of the five Nikāyas, or collections, in the Sutta Pitaka, which is one of the “three baskets” that compose the Pali Tipitaka, the sacred scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. This nikaya consists of fifteen (Thailand), fifteen (Sri Lanka follows Buddhaghosa’s list), or eighteen books (Burma) in different editions on various topics attributed to the Lord Buddha and his chief disciples.
The word khuddaka in the title means ‘small’ in Pali and Nikāya is ‘collection’. The equivalent collection in the Chinese and Tibetan canons is the Kṣudraka Āgama, but there is substantial variation among the collections.
