The Compendium Of Buddhism (guide to Tipitaka) ref #A0309
By The Burma Pitaka Association - Editorial Committee
The Tipitaka is an extensive Canonical Pali literature in which are enshrined the Teachings of Gotama Buddha delivered lucidly for forty-five years from since His Enlightenment to His parinibbana.
The discourses of the Buddha covering a wide range of subjects are made up of exhortations, expositions and injunctions. The Tipitaka into which the Pali Canon is ornately classified and issued down from generation to generation together with Commentaries now forms the huge collection of literary works which the present day bhikkhus of the Order have to learn, study and memorize in discharge of their gantha dhura, the obligated duty of studying.
