| | Nikaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Nikaya is a word of Pali origin and Sanskrit usage which was adopted into English in reference to Buddhist texts. | | | An equivalent used in China is Agama, and the Sutta Pitaka of the Pali Canon is sometimes referred to as "the Agamas" by Mahayana Buddhists or as "the Nikayas" in the company of Theravada Buddhists. | | | The word has other usages: in particular, in the southeast Asian Theravada school, it is the polite term for monastic orders, divisions among monks, or sects. |

| | Mahayana Buddhism |
| | Hirakawa's first lists Nikaya Buddhism as one of the origins of Mahayana Buddhism, but he seems to treat both types of Buddhism as separate socio-religious entities. | | | In chapter sixteen of his work, A History of Indian Buddhism from Sakyamuni to Early Mahayana, Hirakawa argues for an originally lay this-wordly, and socially distinct Mahayana Buddhism, and for its stemming from three sources: Nikaya Buddhism, biographies of the Buddha, and lay-administered stupa worship. | | | This view transpires and is simultaneously supported by means of three sources that he enounces as responsible for the rise of Mahayana, namely Nikaya Buddhism, biographies of the Buddha, and stupa worship. |

| | For the adherent of Buddhism, the ritual of worship is essentially a respectful recognition of the greatness of the Buddha as a spiritual teacher. | | | Thus the votaries of a "pristine pure Buddhism" posited on the basis of the canonical texts should not ignore or devalue this aspect of Buddhism as an alien encroachment on the Buddha's original doctrine. | | | However, side by side with this austere, intellectually sophisticated Buddhism of the texts, we find in Sri Lanka a warm current of devotional Buddhism practised by the general Buddhist populace, who may have only a hazy idea of the Buddhist doctrine. |
