| | Buddhist Councils - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Theravada Buddhism does not recognize the authenticity of this council, and it is sometimes called the "council of heretical monks". | | | The Dharmaguptakas were characterized by a belief that Buddha was separate, and above, the rest of the Buddhist community. | | | The fourth Buddhist council was convened by the Kushan emperor |

| | The Buddhists believe that Lord Buddha was omniscient. | | | After the Great Demise of Lord Buddha, the First Buddhist Council was held in Rajagaha under the patronage of King Ajatasatru to preserve the teachings of Lord Buddha for the years to come. | | | The Second Buddhist Council was held at Vaisali during the reign of King Kalasoka one hundred years after the Parinibana of the Lord Buddha. |

| | Second Buddhist-Christian Colloquium |
| | Buddhists are respectful of the sacred texts of all religions. | | | The authority of the early sacred Buddhist texts was decided during the six great Buddhist councils called for at different periods of time by the Buddha's disciples after his passing into Parinirvana. | | | This general topic was divided further into sub-themes: Buddhist Enlightenment and Christian Revelation; Sacred Texts in the Buddhist and Christian Traditions; Meditation and Contemplation in Buddhism and in Christianity; Anatta/Sunyata and Kenosis. |

| | Buddhist Councils - Ven. Rewata Dhamma |
| | These collective recitations which were performed by the monks at all these Buddhist Councils are known as the 'Dhamma Sangitis', the Dhamma Recitations. | | | One of the most significant achievements of this Buddhist assembly and one which was to bear fruit for centuries to come, was the Emperor's sending forth of monks, well versed in the Buddha's Dhamma and Vinaya who could recite all of it by heart, to teach it in nine different countries. | | | They are so designated because of the precedent set at the First Buddhist Council, when all the Teachings were recited first by an Elder of the Sangha and then chanted once again in chorus by all of the monks attending the assembly. |

| | The Mahavibhasa Shastra was one of the famous Buddhist scripture written by that time. | | | The Chairman of the Council was Moggaliputta Tissa, the Buddhist Master of the nation. | | | However, in the third century B.C. during the time of King Ashoka (about 235 years after the death of Shakyamuni Buddha), the Third Council was held to discuss the differences of opinion in both the Vinaya and the Dharma. |

| | Update on WBS: NLM - "W"BS Joint Statement |
| | The first three Buddhist Councils were held in India, the birthplace of Buddhism, and it was due to the last of these councils, i.e, the Third Buddhist Council, that Buddhism spread abroad. | | | Following the Parinibbana of the Buddha, Buddhist Councils were held mainly to preserve the Buddha?s Dhamma in its pristine purity. | | | The Sixth Buddhist Council held here in this cave in 1956 was the first Buddhist conference in which Buddhist leaders from all the Theravada countries took a vital role in editing and restoring the Tipitaka to its original version. |

| | And that is why the council had to come to the conclusion that each of these eighteen sections of shravakas were all correct in their line of thought and that the teachings that they were following were all the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. | | | The purpose of this First Council was to make sure that all the immaculate words of the Buddha would be preserved in their purity and wouldn’t be lost. | | | So this was the prophesy made by Buddha Kashyapa in the sutra. |

| | What's in Buddhism |
| | As you would have guessed, the primary aim of a Buddhist Council was to preserve and safeguard the originality of the Buddha's teachings. | | | It all started this way: It was understood that after the Buddha passed away, some not so righteous members of the Sangha then were happy that the Buddha was not there to oversee their conduct anymore, and they thought that they were free to do what they wanted. | | | The 1st Buddhist Council took place 3 months after the passing away of the Buddha. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Religious Life |
| | Moreover, not every doctrine or practice of a false religion is necessarily erroneous or reprehensible; there may be great nobility of character among Buddhist monks or Mussulman dervishes, as there may be faults sullying the monastic or religious habits worn in the true Church. | | | The authoritative interpretation of the disciplinary decrees of the Council of Trent gave the Congregation of the Council a power over regulars, which it used largely before the nineteenth century; but at present its authority is limited to the secular clergy. | | | The Israelites may have borrowed from Egypt the practice of circumcision, which was the sign of their covenant with Jehovah; and so certain ascetic practices, even if they had a pagan origin, were nevertheless, as employed by our monks and religious, Catholic and Christian in meaning and inspiration. |

| | CHRONOLOGY OF THE PALI CANON |
| | With regard to the Dighanikaya it has been directly pointed out by Buddhaghosa that the concluding verses of the Mahaparinibbana Suttanta relating to the redisribution of Buddha's bodily remains were originally composed by the rehearsers of the Third Buddhist Council and added later on by the Buddhist teachers of Ceylon. | | | Prior to the despatch of missionaries by Asoka, Buddhism as a religious movement was confined, more or less, within the territorial limits of what is known in Buddhist literature as the Middle Country (Majjhimadesa) and the Buddhist tradition in Pail is very definite on this point. | | | Turning at last to the Cullavagga account of the first Buddhist council, it will be a mistake to suppose that the account as we have it in the Cullavagga is as old as the time of the counci1 itself. |
