The Pāli Canon falls into three general categories, called pitaka (piṭaka, basket) in Pali. Because of this, the canon is traditionally known as the Tipitaka (Tipiṭaka; three baskets). The three pitakas are as follows: 1. * Vinaya Pitaka, dealing with rules for monks and nuns 2. * Sutta Pitaka, discourses, mostly ascribed to the Buddha, but some to disciples 3. * Abhidhamma Pitaka, variously described as philosophy, psychology, metaphysics etc.

abstract
  • The Pāli Canon falls into three general categories, called pitaka (piṭaka, basket) in Pali. Because of this, the canon is traditionally known as the Tipitaka (Tipiṭaka; three baskets). The three pitakas are as follows: 1. * Vinaya Pitaka, dealing with rules for monks and nuns 2. * Sutta Pitaka, discourses, mostly ascribed to the Buddha, but some to disciples 3. * Abhidhamma Pitaka, variously described as philosophy, psychology, metaphysics etc. The Vinaya Pitaka and the Sutta Pitaka are remarkably similar to the works of other early Buddhist schools. The Abhidhamma Pitaka however is a strictly Theravada collection, and has little in common with the Abhidhamma works recognized by other Buddhist schools.
