Buddhists revere many sacred texts and scriptures. Some of the most important are:
Tipitaka: These texts, known as the “three baskets,” are thought to be the earliest collection of Buddhist writings.
Sutras: There are more than 2,000 sutras, which
are sacred teachings embraced mainly by Mahayana Buddhists.
The Book of the Dead: This Tibetan text describes the stages of death in detail.
