Introduction to Tipitaka
The Pali Canon, Tipitaka, is a collection of Pali language texts which form the doctrinal foundation of Theravada Buddhism, and is the main body of scriptures for Buddhists.
Tipitaka is translated as "three" (Ti) "baskets" (pitaka), in the Pali language. The three baskets are:

The Vinayapiñaka A compilation of the word of the Buddha in the domain of the Discipline, or the rules laid down by the Buddha concerning the conduct, ways of living, customs, and administration of monastic affairs for monks and nuns, the Vinayapiñaka is divided into five scriptures (known by their abbreviations as: â, Pà, Ma, Cu, Pa.), and published in eight volumes.
Volume 1: Mahàvibhaïga, Part 1. Covering the first 19 training rules within the Pàtimokkha (major monastic rules) for monks, this volume deals with grave offences, i.e. the four rules of Defeat (Pàrà- jika), the 13 rules entailing Initial and Subsequent Meetings of the Sangha (Saïghàdisesa), and the two Indefinites (Aniyata).
Volume 2: Mahàvibhaïga, Part 2. This volume covers the rest of the monks’ Pàtimokkha training rules - those concerned with minor offences, i.e. starting with the 30 rules entailing Expiation with Forfeiture (Nissaggiyapàcittiya), thereby bringing the total of the Pàtimokkha training rules (often called precepts) to 227
Volume 1: Mahāvibhaṅga, Part 1. Covering the first 19 training rules within the Pātimokkha (major monastic rules) for monks, this volume deals with grave offences, i.e. the four rules of Defeat (Pārājika), the 13 rules entailing Initial and Subsequent Meetings of the Sangha (Saïghàdisesa), and the two Indefinites (Aniyata).
Volume 2: Mahāvibhaṅga, Part 2. This volume covers the rest of the monks’ Pātimokkha training rules-those concerned with minor offences, i.e. starting with the 30 rules entailing Expiation with Forfeiture (Nissaggiyapācittiya), thereby bringing the total of the Pātimokkha training rules (often called precepts) to 227.
Volume 3: Bhikkhunīvibhaṅga. It deals with the 311 training rules for nuns.
Volume 4: Mahāvagga, Part 1. This volume deals with the training rules outside of the Pātimokkha, i.e. the general regulations on the monks’ ways of living and administration of monastic affairs. The major, or former, portion in this volume covers four divisions (khandhaka), i.e. rules for admission to the Order, the Uposatha meeting and recital of the Pātimokkha, residence during the rainy season, and the Invitation.
Volume 5: Mahāvagga, Part 2. Still on the major, or former, portion of the training rules outside of the Patimokkha, this volume covers six more divisions (khandhaka), i.e. rules on the use of leather, medicines, the annual presentation of robes (kaṭhina), matters concerning robes, formal censure, and disputes and harmony.
Volume 6: Cullavagga, Part 1, This volume deals with the minor, or latter, portion of the training rules outside of the Pātimokkha, covering four divisions (khandhaka), i.e. formal censure, rules for reinstatement of a monk, and ways of settling a legal procedure.
Volume 7: Cullavagga, Part 2, Still on the minor, or latter, portion of the training rules outside of the Pātimokkha, this volume covers eight more divisions (khandhaka), i.e. miscellaneous rules, dwellings and furniture, schism, specific rules and etiquette, abrupt termination of the Pātimokkha recital, nuns, and the First and Second Rehearsals.
Volume 8: Parivāra. This volume is a manual, compiled in the form of a catechism, for reviewing one’s knowledge of the Discipline
