General Knowledge - Indian History - Discussion

The sacred book of Buddhism is called the Tripitaka (called Tipitaka in Pali). It is also called the Pali Canon, after the language in which it was first written.

It is written in an ancient Indian language called Pali which is very close to the language that the Buddha himself spoke. The Tripitaka is a very large book. The English translation of it takes up nearly forty volumes. Buddhism is based on Buddha's teachings. At first these were passed down by word of mouth and later were complied into two sets of scripture. One set by Council of Monks of the Theravada school (the Tripitaka) the other by the Mahayana school (the Sutras). Both were similar.

Both Theravada and Mahayana Buddhists generally accept the Tripitaka (called Tipitaka in Pali) as the Buddhist sacred writings.

In the sense of nirvana I feel that there are self-interaction, self-satisfaction, self-happiness whatever we have done for the betterment of nature & its living & non-living things.

What is the name of Jain's sacred book?

Tripitakas is teaching of Lord Buddha.

It is the traditional term used by Buddhist traditions to describe their various canon of scriptures. Tripitaka is teaching of Lord Buddha only.

Tripitakas are used by the Buddhists in olden days they used to read that one and also it is very famous in the world.

Book is filled with the teachings of Buddha and that will be the reason why it is the sacred book of Buddhist monks.

Like Christians read bible and Muslims read quran.

Tripitaka is the collection of the teachings of the Buddha over 45 years in the Pali language, and it consists of Sutta - conventional teaching, Vinaya - disciplinary code, and Abhidhamma - moral psychology.
