Preface
Tipitaka in Theravada Tradition is a huge collection of
teachingsattributed to the Buddha and His eminent disciples written down
in analmost dead and very ancient language named “Pali”. Owing to
thelanguage in which His precious words were inscribed Theravada
traditionis also well known as “Pali Buddhism”. There are other versions
of Tipitaka available in Sanskrit and Chinese for Mahayana
Tradition.Tipitaka is considered to be the most authentic texts for all
the Buddhistsregardless of schools and for the ‘Truth Seekers’ as well.
Buddhist worldwith its all complements like Sangha community, laity,
Buddhist culture,Buddhist education, propagation, missionary works,
research etc, is verymuch dependent on this Canonical Pali Literature
called “Tipitaka” as thenucleus of the sources.Even though I’ve studied
some training rules, suttas, and the ultimaterealities for my BA degree,
I did not know the Essential Structure or theconstituents of whole
Tipitaka. To prepare the assignment on
“TheClassification of Tipitaka”
for one of the important subjects of IMAP
“Tipitaka Studies”
conducted by
lecturer venerable PhraSudhivorayan
helped me to have a beautiful portrayal of entire TipitakaFramework and
perhaps a guideline to explore any subject matters in it.Actually for
the preparation of the assignment I had to search manyrelated books of
renowned scholars including the translated Pali Canonitself. I’ve come
across different interpretations, views, explanations of certain subject
matter on Nikayas and the authentic Pali text itself whichI’ve very
much tried to mention in this paper in the chapter concerned.An account
of the emergence and development of Tipitaka throughout theAges with
brief record of important Buddhist Synods has been provided.And I’ve
also attempted to give brief elaboration on divisions (vagga)
andsub-divisions of each Nikaya; important training rules &
regulations,Vinaya Kamma, rites for bhikkhus and bhikkhunis in Vinaya
Pitaka;elucidation of seven Abhidhamma books in nut shell.My sincere
gratitude goes to lecturer
Phra Sudhivorayan
,
librarian,officials, my senior Dhamma friends, colleagues for their
respectivecontributions to complete this paper on time.Wat Pawana, Bang

The Original Words of the Buddha
The collection of suttas, or discourses, attributed to the
Buddha and a few of his closest disciples, containing all the central
teachings of Buddhism.
The Khuddaka Nikaya, or “Collection of Little Texts” (Pali khudda
= “smaller; lesser”), the fifth division of the Sutta Pitaka, is a
wide-ranging collection of fifteen books (eighteen in the Burmese
Tipitaka) containing complete suttas, verses, and smaller fragments of
Dhamma teachings. While many of these have been treasured and memorized
by devout Buddhists around the world for centuries, others have never
left the private domain of Pali scholars; some have yet to be translated
into English.
The Khuddakapatha is a collection of nine short passages that
may have been designed as a primer for novice monks and nuns. It
includes several essential texts that are still chanted daily by
laypeople and monastics around the world of Theravada Buddhism.
The Dhammapada, an anthology of verses attributed to the Buddha,
has long been recognized as one of the masterpieces of early Buddhist
literature. Only more recently have scholars realized that it is also
one of the early masterpieces in the Indian tradition of kavya, or belles lettres.
The Udana, the third book of the Khuddaka Nikaya, offers a rich
collection of short suttas, each of which culminates in a short verse
uttered by the Buddha. Altogether there are eighty suttas, arranged in
eight vaggas, or chapters.
The Itivuttaka, a collection of 112 short discourses, takes its
name from the statement at the beginning of each of its discourses: this
(iti) was said (vuttam) by the Blessed One. The collection as a whole is attributed to a laywoman named Khujjuttara, who worked in the palace of King
Udena of Kosambi as a servant to one of his queens, Samavati. Because
the Queen could not leave the palace to hear the Buddha’s discourses,
Khujjuttara went in her place, memorized what the Buddha said, and then
returned to the palace to teach the Queen and her 500 ladies-in-waiting.
For her efforts, the Buddha cited Khujjuttara as the foremost of his
laywomen disciples in terms of her learning. She was also an effective
teacher: when the inner apartments of the palace later burned down,
killing the Queen and her entourage, the Buddha commented (in Udana
VII.10) that all of the women had reached at least the first stage of
Awakening.
The Sutta Nipata (”The Sutta Collection”), the fifth book of the Khuddaka Nikaya, consists of 71 short suttas divided into five vaggas (chapters).
The Vimanavatthu of the Khuddaka Nikaya is a collection of 83 stories in verse describing the vimana [vimaana] — a kind of personal heavenly mansion — inhabited by beings reborn as gods or goddesses (devata [devataa])
as a reward for meritorious deeds performed by them as human beings.
All the stories follow a similar pattern. They begin with an
introductory verse (or verses) in which the god or goddess is asked
about the cause for his or her rebirth within that particular mansion.
The deva thereupon relates his or her previous good deeds.
The Petavatthu contains 51 poems, each explaining how
unwholesome deeds led to the rebirth of a being into the miserable realm
of the “hungry ghosts” (peta).
The Theragatha, the eighth book of the Khuddaka Nikaya, consists of 264 poems — 1,291 stanzas in all — in which the early monks (bhikkhus)
recount their struggles and accomplishments along the road to
arahantship. Their stories are told with often heart-breaking honesty
and beauty, revealing the deeply human side of these extraordinary men,
and thus serve as inspiring reminders of our own potential to follow in
their footsteps.
The Therigatha, the ninth book of the Khuddaka Nikaya, consists of 73 poems — 522 stanzas in all — in which the early nuns (bhikkhunis)
recount their struggles and accomplishments along the road to
arahantship. Their stories are told with often heart-breaking honesty
and beauty, revealing the deeply human side of these extraordinary
women, and thus serve as inspiring reminders of our own potential to
follow in their footsteps.
The Milindapañha, the eighteenth book of the Khuddaka Nikaya
(according to the Burmese version of the Pali canon), consists of 7
parts as shown below. The conclusion to the Milindapañha states that it
contains 262 questions, though in the editions available today only 236
can be found. Although not included as a canonical text in the
traditions of all the Theravadin countries, this work is much revered
throughout and is one of the most popular and authoritative works of
Pali Buddhism.
