Summary: The text discusses the chronological order and contents of the Pali Canon, focusing on the Vinaya, Sutta, and Abhidhamma Pitakas. It delves into the transmission and preservation of the texts post-Buddha's demise, emphasizing the historical basis of certain anecdotes found in the texts. The development of elements like Jataka stories and Parittas are considered later accretions to the original teachings as influenced by outside factors. The dating of the Digha and Anguttara Nikayas is positioned pre-Asokan era, with possible exceptions like the Mahaparinibbana Suttanta's concluding verses. The text presents a detailed analysis of each book within the Khuddaka Nikaya, considering their potential compilation timelines and historical contexts within early Buddhist literature. Prof. Rhys Davids' and other scholars' viewpoints on the timing and authorship of specific texts are critically assessed, suggesting a timeline for the composition of Pali Canon texts.
