RE: The Early Schools of Indian Buddhism Series
@reddust, You introduced nicely using fully contents about the history of Buddhist Councils and Schools. I've already learned lot of books there in my school life and then after passed life. I accept happened disagreements between the early schools about Buddha's death. But I accept how introduced lot of our Buddhism books.
In some cases, as will be shown in this series, the treatment of the teachings of other schools borderlines on misrepresentation, in order to refute them with their own doctrine.
Yep I accept with your above contexts. For Sri Lanka, main religion is Buddhism. So every schools teach Buddhism language. Sunday Dhamma school's teach Theravada & Pali languages.
Dear @madushanka, thank you....Most of the disagreements were minor. What we call the Theravada school disagreed with what is now Mahayana like schools regarding the vinaya rules. Theravada were very strict and didn't want lay people, bodhisattvas involved in the councils. This is all about opinions and human behavior, I guess even if you are enlightened you are going to have issues with people who don't agree with your view...hahaha
I have learned a little Pali and Sanskrit researching topics and words to see if the translations I have matched other translator's works.
