The Basket of Threads

Introduction
The Basket of Threads consists of threadsattributed to the Awakened One or otherwise considered the Word of the Awakened One. Distinguished into phases, the Basket consists of an early phase, wherein threads were sorted according to various criteria into collections, after which the collections were closed, and a later phase, in which texts were accepted variously as Word of the Awakened One. Some of these variously accepted texts fit into the Vehicle of the Hearers, while others fit into the Great Vehicle, which are of different levels of development depending upon whether they are early threads of the Great Vehicle, or later threads.
