The Khuddakapāṭha (Pāli for "short passages"; abbreviated as "Khp") is a Theravāda Buddhist scripture, the first collection of discourses (suttas) in the Khuddaka Nikāya of the Pāli Canon. It may have originated as a handbook for novice monks composed from excerpts of canonical texts.

==History== The Khuddakapāṭha was excluded from the lists of canonical texts collected by the Theravāda Dīgha- and Majjhima-bhāṇakas as well as the Chinese translation of Buddhaghosa's commentaries. This suggests that the Khuddakapāṭha had not attained canonical status until relatively late in the process of fixing the Theravāda canon, and may be one of the last texts added to the Canon itself.
