Buddhist Literature encompasses a wide range of texts that convey the teachings and philosophies of Buddhism. These writings include scriptures, commentaries, and philosophical treatises, primarily written in languages such as Pali, Sanskrit, and Tibetan. Key texts include the Tripitaka, which is divided into three sections: the Vinaya Pitaka, Sutta Pitaka, and Abhidhamma Pitaka. The literature serves various purposes, from guiding practitioners in meditation to explaining the nature of reality and ethics. Important works also include the Dhammapada, a collection of sayings attributed to Buddha, and various Mahayana texts that explore the concept of Bodhisattva and compassion.
