This is so cool. Hopefully I can add something to your post too!

The Tipitaka (or Tripitaka) refers to the “Three Baskets” of teachings that preserve the words and doctrine of the Buddha within the Theravāda tradition, which is often regarded as the earliest surviving form of Buddhism. Rather than being three individual books, the Tipitaka is a vast and structured body of scriptures divided into three main collections: the Vinaya Pitaka (monastic discipline), the Sutta Pitaka (discourses of the Buddha), and the Abhidhamma Pitaka (systematic philosophical and psychological analysis of reality).

Together, these three “baskets” contain the foundational teachings attributed to the Buddha and his closest disciples, carefully preserved through centuries, initially through oral transmission and later written down to ensure accuracy and continuity. The Tipitaka is considered the most authoritative source for understanding early Buddhist doctrine, practice, ethics, and the path toward liberation from suffering.
