	Buddhist Canon Paper
		The Mahayana sutras, having their earliest origins within the more doctrinally open Mahasanghikas, were very different in style and theme from the earlier sutras.
		These sutras, according to the Mahayanists, were "the second turning of the Dharma wheel." While the Pali canon of the Hinayana Buddhists had already been established in South and Southeast Asia, helped in no small part by King Asoka and his Buddhist missionaries, hundreds of new Mahayana scriptures were being written and promulgated within India.
		This, however, does not make dating the Mahayana sutras as a whole any more simple, since many of them were not composed at one time, but over a longer period of time, with chapters being added or removed over a period of several centuries.

		Sutra — These are the short, medium, and long discourses expounded by the Buddha on various occasions, such as M ANGALA S UTRA (Discourse on Blessings), R ATANA SUTRA (The Jewel Discourse), M ETTA S UTRA (Discourse on Goodwill), etc. According to the Commentary the Vinaya is also included in this division.

		While concepts in the Sutra are to be understood in the conventional sense, those used in the Abhidharma must be understood in the ultimate sense.

	The Universe is The Scripture of Zen
		It is in this sutra that most of Shakya's eminent disciples, known as the adherents of Hinayanism, are astonished with the profound wisdom, the eloquent speech, and the supernatural power of Vimalakirtti, a Bodhisattva, and confess the inferiority of their faith.
		Sutras used by Zen Masters.--Ten Dai failed to explain away the discrepancies and contradictions of which the Canon is full, and often contradicted himself by the ignoring of historical[1] facts.
		As there were, however, no written sutras to disprove their assertion, the elders, such as Yaça, Revata, and others, who opposed the Indulgences, had to convoke the second council of 700 monks, in which they succeeded in getting the Indulgences condemned, and rehearsed the Buddha's instruction for the second time.

		The Sutra Pitaka (Sutra Pitaka in Sanskrit) consists mainly of discourses delivered by the Buddha himself on various occasions.

		A knowledge of the Abhidharma is necessary in order to apply the insight into impermanence, impersonality, and insubstantiality that we gain from a reading of the Sutra Pitaka to every experience of daily life.
		The Sutra Pitaka is ordinarily termed the basket of the discourses, the Vinaya Pitaka contains the rules covering the monastic community, and the Abhidharma Pitaka is normally referred to as the books of Buddhist philosophy and psychology.
		Yet there are passages in the sutras that describe impermanence, impersonality or insubstantiality, elements, and aggregates, and hence reflect the ultimate standpoint.

		The sutras were not written down at first but were passed along in oral form for several hundred years, and so in the written form each sutra typically begins with the phrase, "Thus have I heard," followed by a description of where and to whom the Buddha was speaking.
		The original sutras were divided into five collections known as nikayas, from the Pali word for "corpus." These five nikayas make up the pitaka or "basket" called the Sutra-pitaka.
		Mahayana Buddhist scholars, on the other hand, believe that the Sutra records the actual words of the Buddha, but that the texts were removed from the human realm by gods and dragons for 400 years to allow time for the renunciative, monastic life to purify and prepare people for the messianic nature of its teachings.

		The Buddhist canon is known as the Tripitaka, or Three Baskets, because it consists of three collections of writings: the Sutra Pitaka, a collection of discourses; the Vinaya Pitaka, the code of monastic discipline; and the Abhidharma Pitaka, which contains philosophical, psychological, and doctrinal systemizations and classifications.

		The discipline was similarly recited by Upali, a specialist in that subject, and codified as the Vinaya Pitaka.
		According to the consensus of the schools the Sutra Pitaka was arranged in five agamas, 'traditions' (the usual term, but the Sthaviravadins more often call them nikayas, 'collections').
		The original division of the Sutras into several agamas, 'traditions', seems primarily to have reflected what monks could reasonably be expected to learn during their training.
