Tripitaka

Tripitaka is an ancient collection of teachings in Buddhism. It is a term that means "three baskets", and it's made up of three parts. The first basket is the Sutras, which contain the teachings of the Buddha in the form of stories and dialogues. The second basket is the Vinaya, which lays out guidelines for Buddhist monks and nuns. The third basket is the Abhidharma, which contains deep philosophical teachings about the nature of reality. Together, these three baskets contain all of the different teachings of Buddhism.
