This addendum is a continuation of the article Pali Canon.

This addendum will give a detailed account of the Pali Canon.

The usual arrangement of the Canon is as follows:

  1. Vinayapiṭaka
  2. Sutta- or Suttantapiṭaka
    1. Dīghanikāya
    2. Majjhimanikāya
    3. Saṃyuttanikāya
    4. Aṅguttaranikāya
    5. Khuddakanikāya
  3. Abhidhammapiṭaka

An alternative arrangement is in nikāyas, with the Vinaya and Abhidhamma included in the Khuddakanikāya, either before or after the Sutta parts. The inscriptions approved by the Fifth Council are arranged Vinaya, Abhidhamma, Sutta, while the Sixth Council recited the texts in the order listed above except for placing the Khuddakanikāya at the end.
