'''<nowiki>*</nowiki>''Tripitaka'' (Pali, Tipitaka)''', meaning “Three Baskets”—chief Scriptures consisting of ''Vinaya-Pitaka'', or Rules of Discipline governing the Sangha; the ''Sutta-Pitaka'', or Dialogues and Discourses of the Buddha, containing the Five ''Nikayas''; and the ''Abhidhamma-Pitaka'' (lit. “Higher Dhamma”). The Therauada ''Tipitaka'' is available from the Pali Text Society. The Mahayana ''Tripitaka'' is just beginning to be translated, mainly by the Buddhist Text Translation Society.
