This Pitaka consists of the five following books:---
Parajika Pali (Major Offences) Pacittiya Pali (Minor Offences) Mahavagga Pali (Greater Section) Cullavagga Pali (Smaller Section) Parivara Pali (Epitome of the Vinaya)
律藏记录了比库和比库尼生活的戒律。它详细的记载了佛陀所教化的戒律和道德生活的渐次进展。它也记载了佛陀弘法的生涯,也间接的记载了当时印度的历史、风俗、习惯、艺术和科学等有价值的史料。
佛陀证悟后的二十年内,并没有订立任何戒律。后来僧团逐渐庞大,所带来的问题也多了,因此,佛陀开始为僧团制定戒律。
在律藏中保留至今的五种:
一、巴拉基嘎 (Pàràjika,古译:波罗夷)。
二、巴吉帝亚 (Pàcittiya,古译:波逸提)。
三、大品律 (Mahā-vagga)。
四、小品律 (Cullaagga)。
五、附随 (Parivāra)。
Sutta Pitaka
The Sutta Pitaka consists chiefly of discourses delivered by the Buddha Himself on various occasions. There are also a few discourses delivered by some of His distinguished disciples, such as the Venerable Sariputta, Ananda, Moggallana, etc., included in it. It is like a book of prescriptions, as the sermons embodied therein were expounded to suit the different occasions and the temperaments of various persons. There may be seemingly contradictory statements, but they should not be misconstrued as they were opportunely uttered by the Buddha to suit a particular purpose.
This Pitaka is pided into five Nikayas or collections, viz:--
Digha Nikaya (Collection of Long Discourses) Majjhima Nikaya (Collection of Middle-length Discourses) Samyutta Nikaya (Collection of Kindred Sayings) Anguttara Nikaya (Collection of Discourses arranged in accordance with number) Khuddaka Nikaya(Smaller Collection) The fifth is subpided into fifteen books:--- Khuddaka Patha (Shorter Texts) Dhammapada (The Way of Truth) Udana (Heartfelt sayings or Paeons of Joy) Iti Vuttaka (”Thus said" Discourses) Sutta Nipata (Collected Discourses) Vimana Vatthu (Stories of Celestial Mansions) Peta Vatthu (Stories of Petas) Theragatha (Psalms of the Brethren) Therigatha (Psalms of the Sisters) Jataka (Birth Stories) Niddesa (Expositions) Patisambhida (Analytical Knowledge) Apadana (Lives of Saints) Buddhavamsa (The History of Buddha) Cariya Pitaka (Modes of Conduct)

Abhidhamma Pitaka
论藏(阿毗达摩):

In the Sutta Pitaka one often finds references to inpidual, being, etc., but in the Abhidhamma, instead of such conventional terms, we meet with ultimate terms, such as aggregates, mind, matter, etc.
In the Sutta is found the Vohara Desana (Conventional Teaching), whilst in the Abhidhamma is found the Paramattha Desana (Ultimate Doctrine).

The so-called being is microscopically analysed and its component parts are minutely described. Finally the ultimate goal and the method to achieve it is explained with all necessary details.
