The Tipitaka The teachings were first compiled about 3 months after the Buddha’s passing away, during the First Buddhist Council. They were originally memorized and handed down orally, before being written down at the Aluvihara in Sri Lanka around 29 BCE.

The Tipitaka Ola leaves were used to record the teachings. These are long, narrow leaves, which were sewn at the edges, then grouped into bunches and stored in baskets. Thus “Ti-pitaka” literally means “three baskets”, as it was divided into three divisions or categories.

The Tipitaka The Pali Canon is a vast body of literature. The English translation adds up to thousands of pages. Most (but not all) of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. It is about 11 times the size of the Christian Bible, and about two and a half times the Encyclopedia Britannica.

The Sutta Pitaka Most of the teachings were intended for the Sangha but there are many discourses which deal with both the material and moral progress of the laity. The Buddha successfully adapted the manner and style of his discourses such that he used simpler concepts for the ordinary folk, and more complex ideas for educated and intellectual audiences.
