  • The Ratana Sutta is a Buddhist discourse (Pali:sutta) found in the Pali Canon's Sutta Nipata and Khuddakapatha; with a parallel in the Mahavastu. In the Pali it is seventeen verses in length, and in the Sanskrit version nineteen. 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 (Dharma) and the noble community of disciples (ariya Sangha).
    The background story is that the town of Vesali was being plagued by disease 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.
