: Amaravati: GlossaryLiterally hree baskets - the colections of the Buddhist scriptures, classified according to Sutta (Discourses), Vinaya (Discipline or Training) and Abhidhamma (Meta physics)
: Shambala Publications: GeneralTripitaka (Tripitaka) Skt. (Pali, Tipitaka), lit., ¡°Three Baskets¡±; canon of Buddhist scriptures, consisting of three parts: the Vinaya-Pitaka, the S¨±tra-pitaka, and the Abhidharma-pitaka. The first ¡°basket¡± contains accounts of the origins of the Buddhist sangha as well as the rules of discipline regulating the lives of monks and nuns. The second is composed of discourses said to have come from the mouth of Buddha or his immediate disciples and is arranged into five ¡°collections¡±: D¨©gha-nik¨¡ya, Majjhima-nik¨¡ya, Samyutta-nik¨¡ya, Anguttara-nik¨¡ya, Khuddaka-nik¨¡ya. The third part is a compendium of Buddhist psychology and philosophy.
The Vinaya-Pitaka contains some of the oldest parts of the canon, which originated in the first decades after the death of the Buddha. After the split into individual schools, the Abhidharma-pitaka, which differs from school to school, was added.
: WikiPedia: BuddhismTripi?aka (Pali: Tipitaka) is a Sanskrit word meaning Three Baskets. It is the traditional term used by Buddhist traditions to describe their various canons of scriptures. The expression Three Baskets originally referred to three receptacles containing the scrolls on which the Buddhist scriptures were originally preserved.[citation needed] Hence, the Tripi?aka traditionally contains three "baskets" of teachings: a S¨±tra Pi?aka (Sanskrit; Pali: Sutta Pitaka), a Vinaya Pi?aka (Sanskrit & Pali) and an Abhidharma Pi?aka (Sanskrit; Pali: Abhidhamma Pi?aka).
Tripitaka is the three main categories of texts that make up the Buddhist canon.
- Sutras: These are mainly teachings and sermons of Buddha originally transcribed in Sanskrit or Pali. They may contain descriptions of Buddha and parables which may help lead to enlightenment of the reader.
- Abhidharma: Philosophical and psychological discourse and interpretation of Buddhist doctrine.
- Vinaya: Rules and regulation of monastic life that range from dress code and dietary rules to prohibition in personal conduct.
The term Tripi?aka had tended to become synonymous with Buddhist scriptures, and thus continued to be used for the Chinese and Tibetan collections, although their general divisions do not match a strict division into three pi?akas. In the Chinese tradition, the texts are classified in a variety of ways, most of which have in fact four or even more pi?akas or other divisions.
The Chinese form of Tripi?aka, "s¨¡nz¨¤ng" (Èý²Ø), was sometimes used as an honorary title for a Buddhist monk who has mastered the teachings of the Tripi?aka. In Chinese culture this is notable in the case of the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang, whose pilgrimage to India to study and bring Buddhist text back to China was portrayed in the novel Journey to the West as "Tang Sanzang" (Tang Dynasty Tripi?aka Master). Due to the popularity of the novel, the term "s¨¡nz¨¤ng" is often erroneously understood as a name of the monk Xuanzang. One such screen version of this is the popular 1979 Monkey (TV series).
