Suttas in buddhism

The sutta literature forms the backbone of the dhamma, or teachings of the buddha, according to the Theravada tradition and is the second section of the tripartite collection of Pali canonical texts known as the Tipiṭaka (along with the discipline for the monks called the Vinaya and the psychological-philosophy called the abhidhamma). The sutta collection primarily consists of narratives about or discourses by the buddha, but it also includes stories about or ostensibly by other important figures from early Buddhism, such as the wise monk Sāriputta.
