===The Tripitakas===
{{Main|Tripiṭaka|Pali Canon}}
After the development of the different [[early Buddhist schools]], these schools began to develop their own textual collections, which were termed ''Tripiṭakas'' (Triple Baskets).{{sfnp|Warder|2000|pp=282–283}}

Many early ''Tripiṭakas'', like the Pāli ''Tipitaka'', were divided into three sections: ''[[Vinaya|Vinaya Pitaka]]'' (focuses on [[Monasticism|monastic rule]]), ''[[Sutta Pitaka]]'' (Buddhist discourses) and ''[[Abhidhamma|Abhidhamma Pitaka]],'' which contain expositions and commentaries on the doctrine. The [[Pāli Canon|Pāli ''Tipitaka'']] (also known as the Pali Canon) of the Theravada School constitutes the only complete collection of Buddhist texts in an [[Indo-Aryan languages|Indic language]] which has survived until today.<ref>Crosby, Kate (2013).

Wiley-Blackwell. p. 2. {{ISBN|978-1-4051-8906-4}}</ref> However, many ''Sutras'', ''Vinayas'' and ''Abhidharma'' works from other schools survive in Chinese translation, as part of the Chinese Buddhist Canon. According to some sources, some early schools of Buddhism had five or seven ''pitakas''.{{sfnp|Skilling|1992|p=114}}
