The 'Pali Canon' is believed to represent the words of Siddhartha Gautama, the 'Buddha', as first recorded in Pali, an ancient Middle Indo-Aryan language of Sri Lanka, in the first century BC. The Buddha was a wandering ascetic and religious teacher, who flourished in the eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains during the sixth or fifth century BC. Buddhism ranks today as the fourth largest religion, with an estimated 400 million followers globally, representing about 6% of the world's population. The 'Pali Canon' is structured into 'three baskets' (Tipitaka), covering monastic discipline, Buddha discourses and higher philosophy, providing a guide for personal enlightenment.
