students, if the chosen discourses are examined. Inside are several hermeneutical tools to assist students in
examining material that they may be researching, such as: the sixteen hâras; sequences for conveying a meaning or
for conveying phrases; the criteria from the Kesaputta Sutta; and for whatever else that there might be, many charts
were designed from the compiled material from various sources to illustrate or explain the contents. The first section
of discourses covers six selections related to social morality: five discourses and the Bhikkhu-Patimokkha. The
second section of discourses covers training in higher mentality, and features seven discourses. The third section of
discourses features material related to training in higher wisdom, as drawn from three selected discourses. The
