उत्तर

‘Tipitaka’ (also known as ‘Tripitaka’) literally means “Three Baskets”. It refers to the collection of the most important and ancient sacred texts of Buddhism.

These texts are primarily divided into three sections (baskets), which is why they are called ‘Tripitaka’:

  1. Vinaya Pitaka: This contains the rules and discipline established for the order of Buddhist monks and nuns.
  2. Sutta Pitaka: This is a collection of the teachings and dialogues of Lord Buddha.
  3. Abhidhamma Pitaka: This contains a detailed explanation of Buddhist philosophy and principles.

These texts are the primary foundation for understanding Buddhist teachings and were written in the Pali language.
