👉 Chronicle I, also known as the "Tripitaka" or "Three Baskets," is the earliest and most authoritative Buddhist scripture, traditionally attributed to the Buddha himself or his close disciples. Compiled over several centuries, it consists of three main parts: the Vinaya Pitaka (monastic rules), the Sutta Pitaka (discourses), and the Abhidhamma Pitaka (philosophical and psychological analyses). This collection provides a comprehensive record of Buddhist teachings, practices, and monastic discipline, serving as a foundational text for Theravada Buddhism and influencing other Buddhist traditions.
