The Map of Buddhist Texts

The monastic code — 227 rules for monks, 311 for nuns, each with its origin-story, plus the institutional regulations and the first two councils.

The 34 longest discourses — the Buddha’s last days, the great mindfulness discourse, the layperson’s code. All CC0 via Sujato.

The heart of the canon for practice — 152 discourses from the Root of All Things to the Development of the Faculties. All CC0.

Thousands of short suttas in 56 thematic collections (the individual total runs 2,889–7,762 by counting convention). Shown at the saṃyutta level. All CC0.

Discourses arranged by ascending number, ones to elevens. Shown at book level; vagga counts vary by edition. All CC0.

The most heterogeneous basket — Dhammapada and Jātaka to technical exegesis. Its membership is itself disputed: 15 books, 17 with the hermeneutic manuals, 18 once the Burmese Sixth Council admits the Milindapañha.

The systematic analysis of experience into ultimate constituents (dhammas), culminating in the vast Paṭṭhāna. Only two books have worldwide-PD translations; the Yamaka has no standard English at all.

Works revered but outside (or at the edge of) the Tipiṭaka — Buddhaghosa’s summa, the King Milinda dialogue, the hermeneutic guides, the chronicles, and the classical commentaries that frame how the canon is read.
