Ratana Sutta
The Ratana Sutta ((ビルマ語:ရတနသုတ်)) is a Buddhist discourse (Sanskrit ''sutra'' Pali, ''sutta'') found in the Pali Canon's Sutta Nipata (Snp 2.1) and Khuddakapatha (Khp 7); with a parallel in the Mahavastu. In the Pali it is seventeen verses in length, and in the Sanskrit version nineteen.〔See Anandajoti (Ratanasutta - A Comparative Edition )〕 The Ratana Sutta extols the characteristics of the three ''ratana'' (Pali for "gem" or "jewel" or "treasure") in Buddhism: the Enlightened One (''Buddha''), the Teaching (''Dhamma'') and the noble community of disciples (''ariya Sangha'').
==Background==
In Theravada Buddhism, according to post-canonical Pali commentaries, the background story for the Ratana Sutta is that the town of Vesali (or Visala) was being plagued by disease, non-human beings and famine; in despair, the townspeople called upon the Buddha for aid; he had the Ven. Ananda go through town reciting this discourse leading to the dispersal of the town's woes.〔See, e.g., Anandajoti (2004), p. 45, "Introductory Verses" to the Ratana Sutta; and, Bodhi (2004).〕
