Works by Buddhaghosa

The Visuddhimagga (Pali; English: The Path of Purification; ; Sinhala: විශුද්ධි මාර්ගය), is the 'great treatise' on Buddhist practice and Theravāda Abhidhamma written by Buddhaghosa approximately in the 5th century in Sri Lanka. It is a manual condensing and systematizing the 5th century understanding and interpretation of the Buddhist path as maintained by the elders of the Mahavihara Monastery in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka.

Samantapāsādikā (also spelled Samantapāsādika) is a commentary (Aṭṭhakathā) on the Vinaya Pitaka of the Theravada Tipitaka. It was composed by Buddhaghosa in the 5th century CE, based primarily on the Sinhalese Mahā-aṭṭhakathā (Great Commentary), with references also to the Mahāpaccarī and Kurundī commentaries.
