## What is Nikaya?

Every answer in Nikaya quotes the sutta it comes from, word for word, and links to the full discourse. You don't have to take an answer on trust: read the passage and check it yourself.

Nikaya is a study app for the early Buddhist scriptures, the Pāli Nikāyas. We wrote 161 quiz questions and 47 library entries for it, citing 69 texts from the Dīgha, Majjhima, Saṃyutta and Aṅguttara Nikāyas, the Dhammapada and the Vinaya.

HOW CITATIONS ARE VERIFIED
• No quotation is typed by hand: our build pipeline finds each passage in the published translations on SuttaCentral and copies it verbatim.
• Every quotation is checked automatically against the source text, so no citation can be invented or misquoted.
• Each citation links to the full discourse on SuttaCentral.
• Each question cites the same passage in English, German and Vietnamese; the English and German quotations are matched sentence by sentence through SuttaCentral's sentence numbering.
• Translations by Bhikkhu Sujato and Bhikkhu Brahmali (English), Sabbamitta and others (German), and Most Ven. Thích Minh Châu and others (Vietnamese), alongside the Pāli root texts.
