Buddhist texts
Buddhist texts can be categorized in a number of ways. The Western terms ""scripture"" and ""canonical"" are applied to Buddhism in inconsistent ways by Western scholars: for example, one authority refers to ""scriptures and other canonical texts"", while another says that scriptures can be categorized into canonical, commentarial and pseudo-canonical.

Even after the development of printing, Buddhists preferred to keep to their original practices with these texts.
