The Tipitaka is an extensive body of Canonical Pali Literature in which are enshrined the Teachings of Gautama Buddha expounded for forty five years from the time of his enlightenment to his parinibbana. The great division in which are incorporated injunctions and admonition of the Buddha on modes of conduct, and restraints on both bodily and verbal action of bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, which form rules of discipline for them, is called the Vinaya Pitaka. The General discourses and sermons intended for both the bhikkhus and lay disciples, delivered by the Buddha are collected and classified as Suttanta Pittka. The Philosophical aspects of Buddha teaching, is classified under the great division of Abhidhamma Pitaka. Combining all these three great division into one is known as Tipitaka. The present book is a compilation of the outline of the Tipitaka. The present book provides a bird’s eye view of the vast and magnificent canonical scenry which represents all that the Buddha and some of his disciples had taught and all that has been treasured in the Tipitaka.
