Category:Pali Canon
From The Dhamma Encyclopedia
Articles about and direct translations from the Pali Canon, the earliest scriptures of Buddhism. It is originally
known as the Tipitaka (Tripitaka in Sanskrit) and is made up of two words; ti meaning three and pitaka
meaning basket. The Tipitaka was composed in the Pali language and takes up more than forty volumes in
an English translation, roughly about 20,000 pages. It is the largest sacred book of any of the great world
religions. Today it is more commonly known as the Pali Canon since the language is in Pali and to better
differentiate it from the Mahayana Tripitaka (only one letter difference).
For the translations of most of the suttas and passages from the Pali Canon, the great Theravada website
resource, Access to Insight is used. For the suttas and passages in the original Pali, the Sri Lanka
Tripitaka Project, is used, which is a public domain electronic version of the Pali Canon. Terms of use for

reprint, republish, and redistribute this work in any medium whatsoever, provided that: (1) you only make such
