The complete canon of Buddhist scripture, meaning the Three Baskets, comprising the Vinaya (monastic discipline), the Sutta or Sutra (discourses attributed to the Buddha) and the Abhidhamma or Abhidharma (systematic philosophical analysis). Belongs here: any passage drawn broadly from this canon. Does not belong here: a passage from the Dhammapada specifically, which the atlas tracks as its own passage group even though it is itself part of the wider canon.
