All the books of the Abhidhamma Pitaka

Description

A subset of tipitaka_names consisting of only the books of the Abhidhamma Pitaka. These are easier to read if you call pali_string_fix() first.

Usage

abhidhamma_pitaka

Format

A tibble with the variables:

book

Abbreviated title

name

Full title

\

Examples

# Clean up the Unicode characters to make things more readble:
abhidhamma_pitaka$name <-
  stringi::stri_unescape_unicode(abhidhamma_pitaka$name)

# Count all the words in the Abhidhamma Pitaka:
sum(tipitaka_long[tipitaka_long$book %in% abhidhamma_pitaka$book, "n"])

Pali alphabet in order

Description

Pali alphabet in order

Usage

pali_alphabet

Format

The Pali alphabet in traditional order.

Examples

# Returns TRUE because a comes before b in Pali:
match("a", pali_alphabet) < match("b", pali_alphabet)
# Returns FALSE beceause c comes before b in Pali
match("b", pali_alphabet) < match("c", pali_alphabet)

Equal (==) comparison function for Pali words

Description

Note that all Pali string comparisons are case-insensitive.

Usage

pali_eq(word1, word2)

Arguments

Value

TRUE if word1 and word2 are the same

Greater-than (>) comparison function for Pali words

Description

Note that all Pali string comparisons are case-insensitive. #' Also non-Pali characters are placed at the end of the alphabet and are considered equivalent to each other.

Usage

pali_gt(word1, word2)

Arguments

Value

TRUE if word1 comes after word2 alphabetically

Less-than (<) comparison function for Pali words

Description

Note that all Pali string comparisons are case-insensitive. Also non-Pali characters are placed at the end of the alphabet and are considered equivalent to each other. This has been implemented in C++ for speed.

Usage

pali_lt(word1, word2)

Arguments

Value

TRUE if word1 comes before word2 alphabetically

Sorting function for vectors of Pali words.

Description

Note that all Pali string comparisons are case-insensitive. This algorithm is based on Quicksort, but creates lots of intermediate data structures instead of doing swaps in place. This has been implemented in C++ as the original R version was about 500x slower.

Usage

pali_sort(word_list)

Arguments

Value

A new vector of Pali words in Pali alphabetical order

Examples

# Every unique word of of the Mahāsatipatthāna Sutta in
# Pali alphabetical order:
pali_sort(sati_sutta_long$word)

# A sorted list of 100 random words from the Tiptaka:
library(dplyr)
pali_sort(sample(tipitaka_long$word, 100))

Tentative set of "stop words" for Pali

Description

A list of all declinables and particles from the PTS Pali-English Dictionary.

Usage

pali_stop_words

Format

An object of class tbl_df (inherits from tbl, data.frame) with 245 rows and 1 columns.

Source

https://dsalsrv04.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/pali/

Examples

# Find most common words in the Mahāsatipatthāna Sutta excluding stop words
library(dplyr)
sati_sutta_long %>%
  anti_join(pali_stop_words, by = "word") %>%
  arrange(desc(freq))

All the books of the Sutta Pitaka

Description

A subset of tipitaka_names consisting of only the books of the Sutta Pitaka. These are easier to read if you call stringi::stri_unescape_unicode first.

Usage

sutta_pitaka

Format

A tibble with the variables:

book

Abbreviated title

name

Full title

Examples

# Clean up the Unicode characters to make things more readble:
sutta_pitaka$name <-
  stringi::stri_unescape_unicode(sutta_pitaka$name)
# Count all the words in the Suttas:
sum(
  unique(
    tipitaka_long[tipitaka_long$book %in% sutta_pitaka$book, "total"]))

# Count another way:
sum(tipitaka_long[tipitaka_long$book %in% sutta_pitaka$book, "n"])

# Create a tibble of just the Suttas
sutta_wide <-
  tipitaka_wide[row.names(tipitaka_wide) %in% sutta_pitaka$book,]

tipitaka: A package for exploring the Pali Canon in R.

Description

The package tipitaka provides access to the complete Pali Canon, or Tipitaka, from R. The Tipitaka is the canonical scripture for Therevadin Buddhists worldwide. This version is largely taken from the Chattha Sangāyana Tipitaka version 4.0 com;iled by the Vispassana Research Institute, although edits have been made to conform to the numbering used by the Pali Text Society. This package provides both data and tools to facilitate the analysis of these ancient Pali texts.

Data

Several data sets are included:

• tipitaka_raw: the complete text of the Tipitaka

• tipitaka_long: the complete Tipitaka in "long" form

• tipitaka_wide: the complete Tipitaka in "wide" form

• tipitaka_names: the names of each book of the Tipitaka

• sutta_pitaka: the names of each volume of the Sutta Pitaka

• vinaya_pitaka: the names of each volume of the Vinaya Pitaka

• abhidhamma_pitaka: the names of each volume of the Abhidhamma Pitak

• sati_sutta_raw: the Mahāsatipatthāna Sutta text

• sati_sutta_long: the Mahāsatipatthāna Sutta in "long" form

• pali_alphabet: the complete pali alphabet in traditional order

• pali_stop_words: a set of "stop words" for Pali

Tools

A few useful functions are provided for working with Pali text:

• pali_lt: less-than function for Pali strings

• pali-gt: greater-than function for Pali strings

• pali-eq: equals function for Pali strings

• pali-sort: sorting function for vectors of pali strings
