• Sangarava Sutta (AN 3.60) &mdash; To Sangarava. The Buddha answers the accusation that the spiritual path he teaches is a selfish one.

Note: The Tittha Sutta (AN 3.62) was previously misidentified as AN 3.61. While making this correction, errors were also discovered in the numbering of several other suttas, which have now been corrected: the old AN 3.51 is now AN 3.52; the old AN 3.52 is now AN 3.53; and the old AN 3.70 is now AN 3.71. My apologies for the confusion. (jtb 020514: I reverted to the original numberings, to conform to the PTS's numbering system.) </ul>

• Ajaniya Sutta (AN 3.94) &mdash; The Thoroughbred. What are the qualities in a monk that make him worthy of respect?
• Silabbata Sutta (AN 3.78) &mdash; Precept & Practice. Are all religious paths fruitful? Ven. Ananda answers.

• Nidana Sutta (AN 3.33) &mdash; Causes. An action (kamma) performed by an arahant bears no kammic fruit. This sutta explains why.
