Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa
The Chaṭṭha Saṅgāyana Tipiṭaka — the Sixth Council edition of the Pāli Canon — in a quiet, fast, freely-given reader. For study, reflection, meditation, and the preservation of the Dhamma.

The Chaṭṭha Saṅgāyana (Sixth Council) Tipiṭaka was convened in Rangoon, Burma, between 1954 and 1956. Modelled on five earlier councils that preserved the Pāli Canon, it brought together scholars from eight Theravāda countries to verify, edit, and reprint the authoritative Pāli text. The digitized edition was produced by the Vipassana Research Institute (VRI).
This site presents the CST text in Roman/IAST — the international scholarly standard for Pāli — with in-browser transliteration to six other scripts. Paragraph-level CST and PTS references are stable and citable.
