| | Buddhist Scriptures: The Canon |
 | | Besides this Pali recension of the Sthaviravada school there are fragmentary texts of the Sarvastivada or of the Mulasarvastivada which are preserved in Sanskrit. | | | The word is used basically to refer to the literature, the authorship of which is directly or indirectly ascribed to the Buddha himself. | | | Hence we speak of a Pali Canon, i.e., the literature of the Sthaviravadins which is believed to be the original word of the Buddha. |

| | Buddhist Scriptures: First Rehearsal of the Tipitaka |
| | Thus in Sri Lanka, at least, in the Sthaviravada School, it is recorded that the monks were organised in groups specialising in each of the agamas or the Vinaya or the Abhidhamma, handing these texts down to their pupils and so maintaining the tradition. | | | The Sthaviravada and Mahasamghika versions do not mention its recitation, and since the agreement of these two schools should establish the oldest available textual tradition it appears that originally there were only two Pitakas. | | | In fact even ten years after his full 'entrance' into the community a monk was expected to know, besides part of the Vinaya discipline obligatory for all, only a part, usually about a third, of his agama, and these basic texts are pointed out in the commentary on the Vinaya. |

| | The Sthaviravada leadership also taught that the Buddha’s enlightenment was beyond the ability of regular common mortals and so instituted as the highest authority the lesser form of enlightenment expounded by the Arharts and allowed social imperfections to persist within the governing rules of the order and in the sangha itself. | | | While both versions originated in Northern India in gatha poetic formats under the 1st council, the former is the version which spread to the Southern region of India and South East Asia through the initiative of king Ashoka (100-200 years later) who sent his children to Sri Lanka. | | | They were critical of the fact that in the Agamas neither women nor laymen could ever attain enlightenment until they were reborn into more favorable rebirths. |

| | Further differences are that the Mulasarvastivada considers being an albino as an obstacle to receiving vows, while the Sthaviravada does not mention this; and when the Mulasarvastivada school maintains that at the time of ordination only head and moustache need to be shaved, while one of the other school includes also the eyebrows. | | | One of them, the Sthaviravada known in Pali as Theravada, is followed today by monastics in India, Burma, Thailand, Sri Lanka, etc. | | | Only these four schools, three of the Sthaviravada and Mulasarvastivada have continued until today, whereas the rest 14 traditions eventually wanded and disappeared. |

| | Though the outcome of this “marriage of convenience” was an initial coup for the Mahayana, but a problem looms because, over time, it solidifies Gautama’s position as Shakyamuni Buddha; the source of buddhism. | | | It is not surprising that this Fourth Buddhist Council (convened by the Great Kushan King Kanishka) which originated the Mahayana sutras, would never be recognized by the Sthaviravadas; chief proponents of the Gautamic doctrines. | | | This way, the Gautamic doctrines (originating in the north-east heartland of India) got subsumed by the Mahayana, and its core doctrines, the Agama sutras, placed at the bottom of the heap; to serve as beating boys for the Bodhisattva ideals of provisional Mahayana. |

| | Based mainly on the Hinayana and Vinayana scriptures, the first four divisions of Buddhism arose in the forms of Sarastivada, Mahasanghika, Sthaviravada and Sammitiya. | | | The most striking difference between the two systems is that under the Sarvastivada system a person wishing to become a novice or full monk must take the vow for entire life without any exception, but in the Theravada system one can become a monk for a limited period of time, eg. | | | In the present time the Buddhist schools in Tibet and China, for instance, follow the Vinaya system of Sarvastivada, whereas their counterparts in Sri Lanka, Thailand and Burma follow the Vinaya system of Sthaviravada, which is called Theravada in Pali language. |

| | The Mahasanghika, to which the rise of the Mahayana is apparently deeply indebted, and the Sthaviravada, from which the modern Theravada school arose, both were descended from a common form of primitive Buddhism. | | | The goal of Hinayana practice is to reach the stage of an arhat, one who has rid oneself of the defilements of ignorance (avidya), attachment (raga), and aversion (dvesha) with the aid of a teacher. | | | This criticism is specifically targeted at the Sarvastivadin school of Buddhism, which had stagnated and petrified the Abhidharma into a list of inherently existent dharmas. |

But they, too, encouraged disagreements, so that one splinter group after another left the fold. |
