The Tripitaka is a collection of Buddhist teachings that are the foundation of the Theravada Buddhist philosophy. It is the earliest grouping of Buddhist teachings. The Tripitaka is also known as the Tipitaka, from the Pali words, ti, meaning "three," and pitaka, meaning "baskets."
Theravada Buddhism describes the Tripitaka as buddhavacana, or the word of the Buddha, as it contains the teachings of the Buddha and his disciples. The content was gathered and organized at the First Buddhist Council shortly after the Buddha's death in the fourth century B.C.E. and passed down orally until written down in the third century B.C.E.
