Buddhist texts

Buddhist texts are texts that talk about Buddhism, which is an ancient religion. Buddhism teaches people about the path to living an ethical and meaningful life, as well as how to be compassionate to others and yourself. Buddhist texts are books and writings that explain these teachings in detail. Some of the most famous Buddhist texts include The Dhammapada (a collection of sayings of the Buddha), The Sutras (expressions of Buddhist ideas), and The Tripitaka (the core teachings of Buddhism). Buddhist texts also tell stories of the many different Bodhisattvas, or people who dedicate their lives to helping others. By studying these texts, people can learn more about Buddhist teachings and how to make the world a better place.
