The Tripitaka, also known as the Pali Canon, was first compiled around the 1st century BCE, following the death of the Buddha in the 5th century BCE. It was formally organized during the Fourth Buddhist Council in Sri Lanka around the 1st century BCE. The texts consist of three "baskets" (pitaka) that encompass the teachings of the Buddha, monastic rules, and philosophical discourses. Over time, it has been preserved and transmitted in various forms across different Buddhist traditions.
