This is a good article. May all beings attain liberation.
Another excellent book by the same Bhante.

The title of the article is a bit misleading. However, the sub-title is actual theme of the article. In essence, it means paying attention to what the Buddha actually said or taught rather than what the disciples, sangha, lay scholars, scholar-monks, and all sort of commentators said or wrote.
There is one point I find it a paradox: did the Buddha actually use the term ‘sutta’ during his life-time?
