Tipitaka
The Pali Canon
The Tipitaka (Pali ti, “three,” + pitaka,
“baskets”), or Pali canon, is the collection of primary Pali language
texts which form the doctrinal foundation of Theravada Buddhism. The Tipitaka
and the paracanonical
Pali texts (commentaries,
chronicles,
etc.) together constitute the complete body of classical Theravada texts.
The Pali canon is a vast body of literature: in English translation the
texts add up to thousands of printed pages. Most (but not all) of the Canon has
already been published in English over the years. Although only a small
fraction of these texts are available on this website, this collection can be a
good place to start.
The three divisions of the Tipitaka are:
The collection of texts concerning
the rules of conduct governing the daily affairs within the Sangha — the
community of bhikkhus (ordained monks) and bhikkhunis (ordained
nuns). Far more than merely a list of rules, the Vinaya Pitaka also includes
the stories behind the origin of each rule, providing a detailed account of the
Buddha’s solution to the question of how to maintain communal harmony within a
large and diverse spiritual community.
The collection of suttas, or
discourses, attributed to the Buddha and a few of his closest disciples,
containing all the central teachings of Theravada Buddhism. (More than nine
hundred sutta translations are available on this website.) The suttas are
divided among five nikayas (collections):
·
Digha Nikaya —
the “long collection”
·
Majjhima Nikaya
— the “middle-length collection”
·
Samyutta Nikaya
— the “grouped collection”
·
Anguttara Nikaya
— the “further-factored collection”
·
Khuddaka Nikaya
— the “collection of little texts”:

https://www.youtube.com/watch… - Lankarama Buddhist Vihara Sydney 2017LBYG Sydney
Published on Oct 29, 2017
Lankarama Vihara is a traditional Theravada Buddhist Temple established
in Sydney that promotes Dhamma, the teachings of Buddha in Australia.
The 26th Katina Pinkama was held at Lankarama Buddhist Vihara on the
14th October 2017.
Even in the most rural villages in Sri Lanka,
Buddhist devotees will carry out the Katina Pinkama with much devotion.
A unique feature of this noble
meritorious act is that is performed entirely in the name of Buddhist
monks. Katina is undoubtedly the most important religious event for
Buddhists. One of the stanzas chanted during Katina glorifies the
greatness of the merit which one gets from performing Katina. The stanza
says that a diamond could tremble, shake and break at times. However,
the merit obtained by offering of Katina cannot be nullified by anything
until one achieves Nirvana. So if we truly understand that this is the
essence of the Katina, then we would understand just how blessed we are
to be able to participate in such a ceremony.
May you be blessed by the Triple Gems!
