【sa^sana
】
(lit. 'message'): the Dispensation of the Buddha, the Buddhist religion; teaching, doctrine.
Navanga-Buddha (or satthu)-sa^sana, the ninefold Dispensation of the Buddha (or the Master) consists of suttas (sutta), mixed prose (geyya), exegesis (veyya^karana), verses (ga^tha^), solemn utterances (uda^na), sayings of the Blessed One (itivuttaka), birth stories (ja^taka), extraordinary things (abbhutadhamma), and analysis (vedalla). This classification is often found in the suttas (e.g. M. 22). According to the commentaries, also the Vinaya and the Abhidhamma Pitaka are comprised in that ninefold division (see Atthasa^lini Tr., I, 33). It is a classification according to literary styles, and not according to given texts or books.
