I look for original source texts on meditation and related texts, like for example the Buddhist Pali Canon, the Yoga Sutras, or the Daoist Canons, in English translations. I would like text canons both from Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism.

Does anyone know translated versions of these online, optimally with translator's commentary? Does anyone have good guides through the reading material ("what is where")?

I found this:

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ - "Readings in Theravada Buddhism".

I found recently that reading the original text can give insight into what is meant. I'm looking for the right material to read from. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Oliver
