Dear Yong Peng,
perhaps I could add something about the Tipitaka, three Baskets, that may be
of interest.
I quote a post from Sarah Abbot, moderator of dsg list:

<S: The Dhamma-Vinaya consists of nine divisions or angas referred to in
suttas. These are: Sutta, Geyya, Veyyakarana, Gatha, Udana, Itivuttaka,
Jataka, Abbhuta and Vedalla.

Here, Veyyakarana (Exposition)includes suttas without verses, the
Abhidhamma and any other teachings of the Buddha not included
in the other angas.>
Nina.
