Buddhism
is full of numbers. Its earliest known texts include discourses arranged by how
many Dharma topics they contain, and a whole section of the Pali canon
(Tipitika) is devoted to them. This part of the canon is called the Anguttara
Nikaya (often translated as the 'Numerical Discourses'). The method of thinking
of Buddhist ideas & practices in terms of numbers continued in later
traditions of Buddhism, so that concepts of what constitutes a Buddha are
divided into three 'bodies.' Anyway, it is hoped that not only mathematicians
but anyone with an interest in Buddhism will find much to reflect upon in the
articles below. Please, read on!
