Excursion: While the Mahayana tradition ("Great Vehicle") of Buddhism in China, Korea and Japan is based on the Chinese Tripitaka Canon, the Theravada or Hinayana tradition ("Smaller Vehicle") is based on the Pali Canon (Pali is a Middle Age Indian language). The composition of the Pali Canon is older than that of the Sanskrit Mahayana tradition. The order of writings - and their content - is different to the Chinese Tripitaka. The main sections of the Pali Canon are:

    Vinaya Pitaka ("Basket of Rules"): rules of the monastery community and the stories behind the different rules.

1. Suttavibhanga (basic rules for monks and nuns);
2. Khandhaka (sermons and etiquette); and
3. Parivara (recapitulation)
    Sutta Pitaka ("Basket of Discourses"): the sermons of the Enlightened, divided into five collections:

1. Digha Nikaya ("long discourses", including the Pali Nirvana Sutra);
2. Majjhima Nikaya ("middle-length discourses");
3. Samyutta Nikaya ("grouped discourses");
4. Anguttara Nikaya ("further factored discourses"); and
5. Khuddaka Nikaya ("smaller discourses")
    Abhidamma Pitaka ("Basket of Explanations"): Exegeses, Annotations, Researches and Explications to the sutra section, divided into seven books.
