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.

In Buddhism, the Tripitaka (Tipitaka in Pali) is the earliest collection of Buddhist teachings and the only text recognized as canonical by Theravada Buddhists. Many commentaries have been added over the centuries, however. Tripitaka means "three baskets," from the way in which it was originally recorded: the text was written on long, narrow leaves, which were sewn at the edges then grouped into bunches and stored in baskets. {1}
The collection is also referred to as the Pali Canon, after the language in which it was first written. It is a vast collection of writings, comprising up to 50 volumes costing $2000 in some modern sets. {2}
The Tripitaka was handed down orally, then written down in the third century B.C.E. According to Buddhist tradition, the contents of the Tripitaka were determined at the First Buddhist Council, shortly after the death of Buddha. As many as 500 of Buddha's disciples assembled, and at the direction of Mahakashypa, Buddha's successor, the teachings of the Buddha were recited in full. They were then verified by others who had also been present and organized into the Tripitaka (although not written at the time).
