This collection of holy writings is organized to include material from the Pali, Chinese, and Tibetan Canons. It does not include modern writings, which can be found in the bibliography listings. "Sutta" is the Pali word for "Sutra" and is used with all the hinayana texts listed here. They are excellent for those just beginning the path and seeking a solid foundation in the Buddha's teachings. Some of the sources had commentary that are not included. See instructions on "Receiving the Dharma" on how to read these holy texts and to recognize the correct Dharma. Remember that the Buddha taught 84,000 dharmas for the 84,00 afflictions and that He taught so that sentient beings of varying capacities and backgrounds could understand the Dharma. Just as different medicine may be prescribed for different illnesses or at different stages in any given illness, the Buddha conveyed His great wisdom in many ways. The following works represent only a small part of the vast and wonderful texts contained in the Tripitaka, many of which have not yet been translated into the English language. Where known, the name of the translator is given. Most of those listed can be found on this website or, if there are copyright restrictions, linked to other sites or information is given on where you can purchase the translation. The translations on this site may be copied and freely distributed to make these magnificent teachings of the Buddha available to all. The translators only ask that any such republication and redistribution be made available to the public on a free and unrestricted basis and that translations and other derivative works be clearly marked as such.
There is a very comprehensive Theravadan website that provides basic Buddhist terms and doctrines in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portugese that may also be helpful. Remember that this is from the hinayana perspective so may appear to be different from what you will find elsewhere.
Some major stories in the Tripitaka include the life of Buddha, his teachings, the stories of his disciples, and parables that teach moral lessons. The Jataka tales, which recount the previous lives of the Buddha, are also prominent in the Tripitaka. Additionally, the Vinaya Pitaka contains rules and guidelines for monastic discipline.

Buddhism
The Tripitaka (three baskets) is a set of books that contains the Buddha's teachings. It is comprised of the Sutras, sermons and teachings of Buddha; Abhidharma, discourses on interpretation of the doctrine; and Vinay, rules for monks and nuns in monastic life. So the Tripitaka defines what Buddhism is and how we are to live our lives.
