<p>I am looking Thayodhamma Sutta but could not find it based on the following searchers: accesstoinsight.org <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Thayodhamma%20Sutta%20site%3Aaccesstoinsight.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">search on Google</a>, suttacentral.net <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Thayodhamma+Sutta+site:suttacentral.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer">search on Google</a>. But references do turn up in a <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Thayodhamma%20Sutta" rel="nofollow noreferrer">general Google search</a>.</p>

<p>Is it possible to give the Alternative titles of the Sutta, Sutta reference number and link to the Sutta or subsections in which appear in?</p>

<p>I think this Sutta maybe know by a different title on some of these sites which is why it is not found.</p>
