The Tripitaka, meaning "Three Baskets," is the sacred text of Buddhism, consisting of the Vinaya Pitaka (monastic rules), Sutta Pitaka (Buddha's teachings), and Abhidhamma Pitaka (doctrinal analysis). This collection forms the foundation of Buddhist practice and philosophy.

The Tripitaka is a collection of Buddhist texts, or canon, that includes scripture, history, commentary, doxography, and disciplinary manuals. The word Tripitaka means "Three Baskets" in Sanskrit, and refers to its three traditional divisions:

Vinaya Pitaka:
Contains rules and regulations for the daily lives of bhikkhus and bhikkhunis in the Bauddha Sangha.

Sutta Pitaka:
Contains the teachings or sermons of Gautama Buddha.

Abhidhamma Pitaka:
Contains an explanation of Buddhist doctrine.

Tripitaka' texts are considered as the holy book of Buddhism.
The Three Pitakas are:
(1) Vinaya Pitaka- conduct of the order
(2) Sutta Pitaka- largest book on Buddha's sermons
(3) Abhidhamma Pitaka- on metaphysics.

These books are believed to be compiled by various Buddhist Councils held.

The Tripiṭaka is composed of three main categories of texts that collectively constitute the Buddhist canon: the Sutra Piṭaka, the Vinaya Piṭaka, and the Abhidhamma Piṭaka.

The Tripitaka is considered to be a record of the words of the Buddha. The Pali canon was written down in the first century CE.

The Tripitaka contains the following sections:

A. Vinaya Pitaka.
B. The Sutta Pitaka.
C. Abhidhamma Pitaka.

Tripitaka is a Sanskrit word meaning Three Baskets. The sacred book of Buddhism is called the Tripitaka (called Tipitaka in Pali).

Tripiá¹­aka or Tipiá¹­aka is the traditional term for the Buddhist scriptures. The version canonical to Theravada Buddhism is generally referred to in English as the Pali Canon. Mahayana Buddhism also holds the Tripiá¹­aka to be authoritative but, unlike Theravadins, it also includes in its canon various derivative literature and commentaries that were composed much later.

The Tripiá¹­aka was composed between about 550 BCE.
