Document Summary

Tripitaka- the three baskets of buddhism (also known as their canon: sutra pitaka- teachings of buddha s life, vinaya pitika- rules of monastic life, abhidharma- elaboration of the sutra pitika. The pali canon is equal to the tripitaka and the terms are used interchangeably (above is the section of class i missed, but the terms were on the board) The death of the buddha led the vacuum of society. They would recite rules of the monastic community, shared memory of orally collected teachings. The monks try to pass these teachings down. There is inevitable disagreement around the issue of donations from others. What about other things like clothing, gifts etc. Others say it is not possible for everyone to achieve enlightenment. The community splits into two sects: theravada( term scholars use)/ hinayana- orthodox belief, they are the oldest of the two.
