Classics: Buddhist classics are divided into three collections: sutras, Vinayas, and treatises. The original meaning of "Tibet" is a bamboo basket that can hold things, which has the meaning of accommodating and collecting, and Buddhism uses it to summarize all Buddhist classics.
The sutras are the teachings spoken by Shakya himself; Vinaya is the rules and interpretations that the Buddha laid down for his followers to follow; Treatise is the interpretation and study of various theories for the purpose of clarifying the scriptures and laws.
There are still some Buddhist monks and scholars who have made annotations and writings on the three Tibets, which are called "Tibetan classics". Sanzang was called "All the Classics" during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and after the Sui Dynasty, it was called "Tripitaka Sutra".
