	Buddhism / list of buddhist topics / kathavatthu
		Kathavatthu (Pāli), literally "Points of Controversy", is one of the seven books in the Theravada Abhidhamma Pitaka.
		The Kathavatthu was compiled in order to clarify the various points of controversy regarding Dhamma that had arisen among the schools of Nikaya Buddhism.
		Scholars sometimes point to the inclusion of the Kathavatthu in the Tipitaka as an indication that the Pāli Canon was more 'open' than orthodox Theravadin tradition has indicated, and as illustrative of the process of codifying new texts as canonical.

	Kathavatthu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to tradition, this work was compiled by the venerable Moggaliputta Tissa in his role as leader of the Third Council, which took place sometime in the 3rd Century BCE.
		The Kathavatthu was compiled in order to clarify the various points of controversy regarding Dhamma that had arisen amongst the early Buddhist schools.
		Scholars sometimes also point to the inclusion of some obviously later (relatively new) sections of the Kathavatthu in the Tipitaka as an indication that the Pāli Canon was more 'open' than has sometimes been thought, and as illustrative of the process of codifying new texts as canonical.

	CHRONOLOGY OF THE PALI CANON
		The existence of this sutta previous to the reign of king Asoka is clearly proved by certain quotations in the Kathavatthu from it.
		In the Kathavatthu, there are quotations the sources of which can now be traced in some of the passages in the Vinaya Pitaka, Digha Nikaya, the Majjhima Nikaya, the Samyutta Nikaya, the Anguttara Nikaya and some of the books of the Khuddaka Nikaya.
		As the passages are quoted in the Kathavatthu without any mention of the sources, rather as wellknown and authoritative words of the Buddha, it cannot be definitely maintained that the quotations were cited from the canonical texts in which the individual passages are traceable.

	Sri Lanka's Contribution to the Development of the Pali Canon
		However, the inference that the Kathavatthu underwent editorial changes in Sri Lanka cannot be ruled out when the problems pertaining to the Kathavatthu at times in the history are closely scrutinized.
		Nonetheless, the present Kathavatthu and the Digha Nikaya are not identical in size.
		while the Kathavatthu is a text of thirty five bhanavaras in the light of a statement given at the end of the text itself.

		In contrast, the Theravadins include it in the objective field of mental objects (dhammayatana), which means that it is not visible but can be cognized only as an object of mind-consciousness.
		It is this latter kind of space that came to be elevated in the Milindapanha almost to the level of an unconditioned dhamma.
		And it is also this same space that the Kathavatthu describes as neither conditioned nor unconditioned, and this, as the commentary says, means that it is a conceptual construct.

	Kathavatthu : A Critical & Philosophical Study
		The Kathavatthu is the only book in the whole of the Tipitaka which ascribed to a definite author.
		There is the mention of a number of debates that had taken place, which find their description in the Kathavatthu, and the issues that sprang up during that time.
		This study attempt to analyse those controversies and to find out whether the same are in time with basic tenets of early Buddhism i.e., is combination of Theravada and Vibhajjavada.

	A Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma (Introduction)
		Unlike the Suttas, these are not records of discourses and discussions occurring in real-life settings; they are, rather, full-blown treatises in which the principles of the doctrine have been methodically organized, minutely defined, and meticulously tabulated and classified.
		The Kathavatthu, "Points of Controversy," is a polemical treatise ascribed to the Elder Moggaliputta Tissa.
		He is said to have compiled it during the time of Emperor Asoka, 218 years after the Buddha's Parinibbana, in order to refute the heterodox opinions of the Buddhist schools outside the Theravadin fold.

		p.367 A few Evidences on the Age of the Kathavatthu (i) Tradition We have to depend mainly on the Ceylonese tradition for ascertaining the time of composition of the Kathavatthu, one of the seven treatises of the Abhidhamma Pitaka.
		The tradition(1) tells us that the controversies embodied in the K. took place at the Third Buddhist Council, convened in the 17th regnal year of king Asoka.
		Thus an examination of some of the materials of the K. and the Asokan edicts shows that the compilation of the K. was made, at least in part, somewhere in the reign of king Asoka.

		Nevertheless, I just don’t see any tangible and definitive evidence in the Suttanta to support this definition (more on this later), and the Buddha is clear in the 'four great references' (mahapadesa) explained in the Maha-parinibbana Sutta, that on issues regarding the clarification or authenticity of Dhamma teachings, the suttas of the Sutta Pitaka (i.e.

		Advised by the most learned monk of the time, Moggaliputta Tissa, all monks who did not follow the Theravada were dismissed from the community, and refutations of heretical views were published in the Kathavatthu of the Abhidamma basket.
		The number of sects was reduced, but others later denied that Ashoka ever held such a council.
