	The Sects of the Buddhists.
		Following the list of the eighteen sects in the Dipavamsa and Mahavamsa above re ferred to is another list of six later sects, the names of which, with one exception, are derived from places, presumably the places where the sects in question took their origin.

		And when he adds that the particular school of the Mahayanists to which the Ceylonese Buddhists belonged was the Sthavira or Thera school, it can scarcely be doubted that he (or his informant) had in view the Theravada school to which we know the Ceylonese almost ex clusively adhered.

	Buddhism, India, Asia: Philosophy, Ethics, Morality, Theory, Doctrine, Right Conduct, Culture, Sociology, Psychology, ...
		Although the Buddhists were not alone in developing this view, the elaboration of this point of view became pivotal to early Buddhist philosophy.
		Buddhist texts also expressed suspicion about claims by heretical teachers of being constantly "all-knowing" and "all-seeing" and in possession of "all-embracing knowledge-and-vision." Such claims were countered with arguments relating to the actual behaviour of such charlatans in different situations.
		Presumably this concept was essential to the Buddhist goal of encouraging right conduct but it was rejected by those who considered the soul as inseparable from the body and did not believe that the soul survived death.

	Common Misconceptions About Buddhism
		What's important is not which Buddhists believe in reincarnation and which don't, but that all Buddhists do strive to awaken to one central teaching: The universal truth of the impermanent and interdependent nature of all life.
		In our Shin Buddhist sect, the closest we come to meditation is that for about 10 minutes of our services, while seated in chairs, we collectively "chant" the sutras (which are the teachings of the Buddha).
		Also, when you participate in the typical Shin Buddhist service, you'll typically sing a Japanese song or two and the minister himself (unfortunately, it is rarely a "she") may be more comfortable speaking Japanese than English.

	Nagarjuna [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		But in their own view, their skepticism did not make the Buddhists pessimists, but on the contrary, optimists, for even though the human mind could not answer ultimate questions, it could diagnose and cure its own must basic maladies, and that surely was enough.
		Basic Buddhist doctrinal commitments, such as the teaching of the impermanence of all things, the Buddhist rejection of a persistent personal identity and the refusal to admit natural universals such as "treeness," "redness" and the like, were challenged by Brahminical philosophers.
		Sunyata was soon made to carry theoretical meanings unrelated to causal theory in various Buddhists sects, serving as the support of a philosophy of consciousness for the later illustrious Vijnanavada or Cognition School and as the explication of the nature of both epistemology and ontology in the precise school of Buddhist Logic (Yogacara-Sautrantika).
