Buddhist Sects in India

See all formats and editions

An authentic study of the origin and development of various Buddhist sects in ancient India on the basis of the treatises of Vasumitra, Bhavya and Vinitadeva, as well as Kathavatthu, a pali canonical text with Buddhaghosa's commentary there-upon, Sammitiyanikaya-sastra and Mulasarvastivada Vinaya.

It shows how Mahayanism developed as a natural consequence of the views of the Mahasanghikas and as a development of the nebulous conception of Bodhisattva and Buddhakayas in the Divyavadana and Avadanasataka.
