	Haeinsa Temple, Korea - Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
		The Tipitaka is revered by Theravada Buddhists as the complete scriptural collection of the teachings of the founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama (563?-483?BC), known as the Buddha, or Enlightened One.
		According to early Buddhist sources the Tipitaka was written down in the second half of the 1st century BC, in the Pali dialect of the Sanskrit language.
		The council of 500 arhats, or worthy ones, was convened to seek consensus on the doctrine (dhamma) contained in the Buddha's discourses (suttas in Pali; sutras in Sanskrit), and on the monastic discipline (vinaya) taught by the Buddha.

	Buddhist Councils - Ven. Rewata Dhamma
		The Pali Tipitaka and its allied literature exists as a result of the Buddha's discovery of the noble and liberating path of the pure Dhamma.
		The main reason for its convening was the realization that it was now not possible for the majority of monks to retain the entire Tipitaka in their memories as had been the case formerly for the Venerable Mahinda and those who followed him soon after.
		The traditional recitation of the Buddhist Scriptures took two years and the Tipitaka and its allied literature in all the scripts were painstakingly examined and their differences noted down and the necessary corrections made and all the versions were then collated.

		Theravada (pronounced-more or less-"terra-VAH-dah"), the "Doctrine of the Elders," is the school of Buddhism that draws its scriptural inspiration from the texts of the Pali Canon, or Tipitaka, which scholars generally accept as the earliest surviving record of the Buddha's teachings.
		Unlike the scriptures of many of the world's other great religions, the Tipitaka is not meant to be taken as gospel, containing unassailable statements of divine truth, revealed by a prophet, to be accepted purely on faith.
		Although scholars will undoubtedly continue to speculate about the authorship of passages from the Tipitaka for years to come (and thus miss the point of these teachings entirely), the Tipitaka will quietly continue to serve—as it has for centuries—as an indispensable guide for millions of followers in their quest for Awakening.

		The Tipitaka (which means, literally, "three baskets") is arranged in three divisions: Vinaya Pitaka, Sutta Pitaka, and Abhidhamma Pitaka.
		From this brief historical outline, it is evident that a consistent effort, spanning more than twenty-four centuries, has been made to preserve the original words of the Buddha, a continuity of effort unparalleled in human history.
		The Tipitaka, sometimes referred to as "three treasuries," is indeed a repository of inestimable value.

	Pali scriptures, the tipitaka, Buddhist scriptures
		The Tipitaka (Pali ti, "three," + pitaka, "baskets"), or Pali Canon, is the collection of primary Pali language texts which form the scriptural foundation of Theravada Buddhism.
		The Tipitaka is a large collection of discourses, teachings and commentaries, which are highly regarded by those following the Buddhist path.
		Although Buddhists refer to the Tipitaka as Buddha-vacana, "the word of the Buddha", there are texts within the canon either attributed to specific monks or related to an event post-dating the time of the Buddha or that can be shown to have been composed after that time.

		It is also important to remember that in those days there were no T.V.'s, newspapers or advertising to distract and clutter the mind which together with the fact that monks and nuns meditated, meant that they had extremely good memories.
		Buddhists do not consider the Tipitaka to be a divine, infallible revelation from a god, every word of which we must believe.
		Our aim should be to understand what the Tipitaka teaches, not just believe it and thus what the Buddha says should always be checked against our experience.

		Everything we need is in the Tipitaka, in the Dhamma which he left as teacher in his place, and as long as the dhamma is there, he is still with us.
		The Buddhist path is expounded in detail in the Tipitaka, and the development of wisdom (which is akin to the Christian notion of "faith") CAN be undertaken.
		At the moment the biggest ones are how the fruits are categorized (ten vs. four in Tipitaka) AND the difference in ultimate aim and the definition of a "Buddha." These are the main areas I'm trying to understand, areas in which I have doubt (and will continue to have until such is resolved directly).

		One may question the wisdom of arranging this highly stressful examinations now that we can put the Tipitaka texts on the CD-Roms and there is no question of the Tipitaka texts disappearing from this world.
		But the actual rewards of the whole examination is reflected in the emergence of thousands of monks who has got all or some of the texts by heart and are able to help lay worshippers with their instant sermons and discourses, faster than the CD-Rom texts to appear on the Computer screen.
		So the ultimate aim of the Tipitaka Examination is to promote propagation of the Buddhist Teaching which is the noblest of all the gifts, the Gift of the Dhamma in its purest form.

		From the time of Buddha's life down to the time of King Vattagamani's reign, the Tipitaka forming the teachings of the Blessed One were handed down from generation to generation of monks by word of mouth, by being learnt by heart.
		The monks could not get enough food for their meals and had to make extraordinary efforts to retain in memory whatever parts of the Buddhist scriptures they had already learnt by heart.
		This was a matter for anxiety as, if the monks in future could not commit the Tipitaka scriptures to memory and recite them, the scriptures might disappear altogether.

		Still, through the series of comments I’m understanding that you’re meaning for the tipitaka directory to be human searchable and not some sort of ‘back end’ for something with an additional layer of search [sutta names for example.
		For the tipitaka itself, it seems to me that there are already “working solutions” implemented by sites such as Metta.LK –and there are more complete “treatises” on indexes, abbreviations, etc., provided by the infamous “Prolegomena to the CPD”, etc.
		There are substantive differences in the source texts –and some of these differences are related to the ways in which the movement for Romanization (and even Devanagari-ization) have tried to simplify Pali sources (e.g., breaking down euphonic combinations into separate words … the horror!).
