About Buddhist texts

Buddhist texts comprise a vast repository of teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, and subsequent masters. These texts encompass a diverse range of genres, including discourses (suttas/sutras), monastic rules (vinaya), and philosophical treatises (abhidharma). They convey the core doctrines of Buddhism, such as the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, and the doctrine of dependent origination. Spanning multiple languages and traditions, Buddhist texts serve as the primary source for understanding Buddhist philosophy, ethics, meditation practices, and cosmology across different cultures and historical periods.
