In this work, all the discourses addressed to lay people in the four main s of the Pāli Canon, and most of those in the fifth (Khuddaka), have been surveyed, categorised, and analysed. The different ways in which the Buddha customised his style of teaching and the Dhamma being taught according to the various demographic characteristics of his audience (i.e., age, gender, class, and
spiritual attainment) are explored, highlighted and discussed.
Some of the findings are to be expected, whereas others are less so. There are several clear gender and class differences in the type of discourse used, the topics of the teaching, and in whether the sutta is oriented to lead the listener to the more worldly goals of happiness in this life or a good rebirth, as opposed to being directed towards complete liberation from rebirth. There are differences too based on the age of the addressees, but less pronounced.
This survey has also brought forth some distinct characteristics of the different s of the Pāli
Canon in terms of their suttas to the lay community. The contains more suttas targeted directly to lay people, plus many others of the ‘indirect’ variety, more suttas addressed to women and to the middle-class, and a higher emphasis on the goals of happiness in this life and a good rebirth.
Overall the suttas addressed to lay people show a very strong emphasis on good conduct by body,
speech, and mind. But this paper hasn’t addressed whether there would be a different emphasis shown
- - 1 in an examination of the suttas addressed exclusively to the monastic community, and this is an area that warrants further exploration.
A comprehensive catalogue of suttas in the Pāli Canon that are addressed to householders is included in an appendix.
