RE: The Early Schools of Indian Buddhism Series
I read this for the first time. It's a little deep. Thanks for sharing. Dear @reddust What exactly do you mean here?
This council is ignored and considered invalid by Northern Buddhism, especially the Sarvastivada school, who’s forerunners were those ‘unorthodox’ monks that were compelled to leave Asokarama monastery. The Sarvastivada moved to Mathura and from thereon out spread to Gandhara and Kashmir later.
This is the beginning of what we call Mahayana Buddhism, they do not follow "all" the codes of conduct in the vinaya of Theravada buddhism, which called the Sarvastivada "unorthodox." Plus the Sarvastivada followed the Bodhisattva path and the Arahat path....
Very interesting. I want to read it again. I will investigate @reddust
