Explanation:

The Tipitaka consisted of the Vinaya Pitaka, which included rules and regulations for those who joined the monastic order (sangha); the Sutta Pitaka, containing the Buddha's teachings; and the Abhidhamma Pitaka, which delved into philosophical matters. Each pitaka comprised multiple individual texts. Over time, Buddhist scholars wrote commentaries on these texts.

As Buddhism spread to new regions like Sri Lanka, additional texts, such as the Dipavamsa and Mahavamsa, were composed, focusing on regional histories of Buddhism and containing biographies of the Buddha.
