Summary

Tipiṭaka or Tripiṭaka meaning "Triple Basket", is the traditional term for ancient collections of Buddhist sacred scriptures. The Tripiṭaka is composed of three main categories of texts that collectively constitute the Buddhist canon: the Sutra Piṭaka, the Vinaya Piṭaka, and the Abhidhamma Piṭaka.

The Pāli Canon maintained by the Theravāda tradition in Southeast Asia, the Chinese Buddhist Canon maintained by the East Asian Buddhist tradition, and the Tibetan Buddhist Canon maintained by the Tibetan Buddhist tradition are some of the most important Tripiṭaka in contemporary Buddhist world.

Tripiṭaka has become a term used for many schools' collections, although their general divisions do not match a strict division into three piṭakas.

Edward Joseph Thomas (30 July 1869 – 11 February 1958) was an English classicist, librarian and author of several books on the history of Buddhism.

It reverses people from giant to Lilliput.The kingdom of darkness is the major source that triggers most food we eat in the dream. This book gives detail understanding of this message of how to go about it. No matter your belief, demonic food is demonic. To dream of eating on regular basis or being forced fed foretells demonic oppression, pollution, witchcraft initiation, spiritual attack, and or, introduction of terminal disease to victim’s life.This is the reason you don’t take it light. Eating in the dream is a spiritual trap that scatters good plans of people, decisions, and hope. For this reason, you need God’s intervention to purge you of evil food and evil deposit orchestrated by Satan and his agents.

    1. Chain of darkness that ties down destiny shall break while conscious and unconscious witchcraft initiation expires.

    3. Generational curse and evil inheritance effects are broken, giving room for breakthrough and success to locate you.
     
    4. Angels of God will frustrate every conspiracy against you, while strategy of darkness is rebuked. Haters of breakthroughs shall be disgraced and disappointed.
     
    5. Satanic barriers erected against you to achieve success shall not prevail, but scatter.
     
    6. You shall possess your possessions by fire and enlarge your coast, as God will visit you in a surprise way you never bargain.
     
    7. Bondage of darkness holding you captive shall brake as persistent demonic dream stops.
     
    8. No weapon fashion against you shall prosper; bewitchment of the wicked against you shall rise no more.
     
    9. Any strange deposit or disease introduced to your body shall melt away by fire.
     
    10. Wicked altar where evil plans are carried out shall be pulled down and rise no more.
