The Way to the Beyond (Pārāyana) - Sutta Nipata - Teachings of the Buddha -

The Sutta Nipāta (literally, "Suttas falling down") is a Buddhist
scripture, a sutta collection in the Khuddaka Nikaya, part of the
Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism. All its suttas, thought to
originate from before the Buddha's parinibbana, consist largely
of verse, though some also contain some prose. Some scholars
believe that it describes the oldest of all Buddhist practices.
Others such as Bhikkhu Bodhi and K. R. Norman agree that it
contains much early material.  The Chapter on the Way to the
Beyond consist largely of questions posed to the Buddha by 16
Brahmin students. Translated by The Ven. Prof. Hammalawa
Saddhatissa Maha Thera (1914–1990).
