Please explain in details what is the Sutanta Tipitaka?

The Sutta Pitaka, the second division of the Tipitaka, consists of more than 10,000 suttas (discourses) delivered by the Buddha and his close disciples during and shortly after the Buddha's forty-five year teaching career, as well as many additional verses by other members of the Sangha. The suttas are grouped into five nikayas, or collections:

A.   Dīgha-nikāya:  The collection of Long Discourses.
