Tipitaka is the sacred Buddhist scripture which contains the authentic teachings of Lord Buddha known as the Dhamma in Pali language. Thus Tipitaka has preserved the original teachings of the Supremely Enlightened One, the Buddha, in its pure unadulterated form. Lord Buddha taught his Dhamma for 45 years in the common language of the people out of profound compassion. When a learned Bhikkhu, hailing from a well known priestly family, requested the Buddha to allow him to render the Dhamma into Chandas, the Vedic scriptural language, the Buddha said: "The Tathagatas teach the Dhamma with the sole purpose of benefitting all, not just a section of the society." "Go forth, bhikkhus, for the benefit of the many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world, for the good, for the benefit and for the happiness of both gods and men. Let not two of you go by the same way. Bhikkhus, preach the Dhamma which is excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle and excellent in the end, both in spirit and letter. Proclaim the Holy life which is altogether perfect and pure."
