[DN 1] Brahmajala Sutta - What the Teachings is Not. [DN 2] Samaññaphala Sutta - The Fruits of the Contemplative Life King Ajatasattu asks the Buddha, "What are the fruits of the contemplative life, visible in the here and now?" The Buddha replies by painting a comprehensive portrait of the Buddhist path of training, illustrating each stage of the training with vivid similes.

The Buddha does not deny the reality of such experiences, but he points out that -- of all possible miracles -- only the miracle of instruction in the proper training of the mind is reliable. As for heavenly beings, they are subject to greed, anger, and delusion, and so the information they give -- especially with regard to the miracle of instruction -- is not necessarily trustworthy. Thus the only valid basis for faith is the instruction that, when followed, brings about the end of one's own mental defilements. [DN 12] Lohicca Sutta. - To Lohicca A non-Buddhist poses some important questions: If Dhamma is something that one must realize for oneself, then what is the role of a teacher? Are there any teachers who don't deserve some sort of criticism? The Buddha's reply includes a sweeping summary of the entire path of practice. [DN 13] Tevija Sutta. - The Three-fold Knowledge (The Way to Brahma)

b. Maha Vagga Pali - The larger division The 10 suttas in this division are some of the most important ones in the Tipitaka, dealing with historical, and biographical aspects as well as the doctrinal aspects of Buddhism.

[DN 15] Mahanidana Sutta- The Great Causes Discourse [DN 16] Maha-Parinibbana Sutta  -- The Last Days of the Buddha This wide-ranging sutta, the longest one in the Pali Canon, describes the events leading up to, during, and immediately following the death and final release (parinibbana) of the Buddha. This colorful narrative contains a wealth of Dhamma teachings, including the final instructions from the Buddha that serve to define how Buddhism would be lived and practiced long after the Buddha's death -- even to this day. But this sutta also depicts, in simple language, the poignant human drama that unfolds among the Buddha's many devoted followers around the time of the death of their beloved teacher.

[DN 21] Sakka-pañha Sutta  -- Sakka's Questions (excerpt). Sakka, the deva-king, asks the Buddha about the sources of conflict & hostility, and about the path of practice that brings them to an end.
