Lets explore what the Buddhist scriptures are, and how they are important to you in your practice Two Texts, Same Path. There are many different types of scripture and texts in the Buddhist world. These can be broken up into two categories Canonical Texts Scripture in this category is widely accepted to be the actual sayings of the historical Buddha. They are called either Sutras Sanskrit or Suttas Pali. The most widely known, and used among all branches of Buddhism, is the Dhammapada click the link for a PDF version, or at the bottom of this article you can read it online. Non Canonical Texts These are texts that are not the sayings of the Buddha, but observations on canonical texts, disclosures on the Dharma Dhammapada, historical information, quotes, definitions, and other writings. For example, books written by the Dalai Lama or your favorite Buddhism teacher would be considered Non Canonical. Each branch of Buddhism has their own scriptures which include, and may expand beyond, the original teachings of Sakyamuni Buddha. You can find a lot of early Buddhist scripture on Sutta Central a site by Sujato Bhikkhu  http suttacentral. Theravda Buddhism. The Tripitaka or Tipitaka Also Known as the Pali Canon  This is one of the earliest compilations of Buddhist teachings written originally on long, narrow leaves. The name Tripitaka means three baskets and consists of up to 5. There actually were three baskets that Buddhist monks transcribed the Buddhas teachings on  leaves and put them in these baskets to categorize them nearly 2. All branches of Buddhism have the Tripitaka as part of their core scriptures, and the Dhammapada is part of it. One of the largest online websites to find the Tripitaka is Access to Insight  http www. Tripitaka, click here  http www. The Tripitaka is made up for these three baskets of scripture Vinaya Pitaka Discipline Basket, dealing with rules for monks and nuns. Sutta Pitaka SutraSayings Basket, discourses, mostly ascribed to the Buddha, but some to disciples the Dhammapada, featured at the end of this article, is found in this PitakaAbhidhamma Pitaka, variously described as philosophy, psychology, metaphysics, etc. Mindah Lee Kumar provides a great video explaining the Tripitaka Mahyna Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism blossomed in China and spread elsewhere, and has grown in scripture ever since. Before we go any further, its important to note that Mahayana Buddhism accepts the Pali Canon Tripitika just like Theravada does. However, some schools may focus or emphasize on certain sutras as part of their practice. Mahayana Sutras  The Mahayana branch of Buddhism includes the Tripitaka as a sacred text, but also includes others. Most sutras were written between 2. BCE and 2. 00 CE when Mayahana Buddhism was developed. There are over 2,0. Mahayana sutras. You can find Mahayana Sutras on Buddhanet  http www. Vajrayana Tibetan  Texts  In addition to the Pali Canon and Mahayana Sutras Vajrayana is a mixture of what is known as the three vehicles, Vajrayana Buddhists also study Indian Tantric texts and techniques http en. TantratechniquesVajrayana. Tibetan Book of the Dead Bardo Thodol  Although not all of the Vajrayana Tibetan scripture, it is perhaps the most well known. This book explains the stages of death, specifically from the Tibetan Buddhism viewpoint. This includes the experiences of a person as they are dying, the moment of death, and for 4. Also included are practices that are to be taken after the person has died. It was originally written by Yeshe Tsogyak, the primary student of Padmasambhava, in the 8th century. Interestingly enough, the title book of the dead is not an accurate title, and was named this due to a Western misunderstanding. You can find more information here  http www. There are three core texts as they relate to Chinese Buddhism although you will find other schools using these sutras as well The Diamond Sutra is perhaps the most well known, and recited, among Buddhists. As Ven. Master Hsing Yun explains it The Diamond Sutra relates a series of questions and answers that take place between the Buddha and his disciple Subhuti, regarded as the Buddhas foremost disciple in understanding emptiness. Their dialog expounds on the empty nature of prajna, and asserts that all phenomena lack an inherent self and all phenomena are transient. Once we thoroughly understand emptiness, this understanding will benefit us and allow us to be successful in whatever we do, in both worldly and spiritual pursuits. If you want to learn more about the Diamond Sutra, I highly recommend Ven. Master Hsing Yuns book Four Insights for Finding Fulfillment A practical Guide to the Buddhas Diamond Sutra. Not only does it include commentary and explanation, but you also get the full sutra. Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh explains the Diamond Sutra in this video. The video has audio in two languages, so use some earbuds with left being for English, and right for French Yeah, But Did The Buddha Say That How can you know if a Buddhist teaching or scripture is a genuine teaching  You can know if a Buddhist teaching is true by ensuring it is in accordance with the Three Dharma Seals. If a teaching was not by the Buddha, but is in accordance with all Three Dharma Seals, it can be considered a Buddhist teaching at least in Mahayana. All Conditioned Phenomena Are Impermanent. All Phenomena Are Without an Independent Self. Nirvana is Perfect Tranquility. Often, Dukkha will be added to make these the Four Dharma Seals for traditionalists, there is a reason that Dukkha is not initially included above which is explained in my other article. You can learn more about the Three Dharma Seals here  http www. The Dhammapada. There are many interpretations of the Dhammapada you can find many online, or in book form. For your convenience, you can view a version of it here. The Dhammapada is one of the smallest works of the Tripitaka the Tripitaka is the three main categories of texts that make up the Buddhist canon. Dhammapada Stories is an illustrated e book available from buddhanet. Dhammapada and gives stories behind them to help you better understand their meaning. The following is a 1.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage. All that we are is the result of what we have thought it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts.
