		Examples of these schools are pre-sectarian Buddhism, the early Buddhist schools, and any possible other schools or views in which the historical Tipitaka represents the scripture with the highest authority.
		The term 'Nikaya Buddhism' is just a replacement of the term Hinayana, which keeps in place the tendency to regard the separate early schools (and their differing ideologies) as one form or type of Buddhism.
		Conflating all the early schools as one 'type of Buddhism' originated with some proponents of Mahayana, who introduced the name "Hinayana" to distinguish their concept of the Dharma from the already existing schools.

		Thus, in the orthodox schools, if a claim was made that could not be substantiated by appeal to the textual canon, it would be viewed as ridiculous as a claim that the sky was green.
		Other debates in metaphysics and phenomenology include the issue of the Pudgala, or "person", which was inserted by the Pudgalavada school to replace the atman as that which transmigrates and that which carries the burden of karma from one life to another.
		The Yogacara school, somewhat later, would later elevate the mind to act as a substitute for Brahman, much as the Pudgala replaces the atman.

		The Samyutta Nikaya consists of 59 divisions arranged in five groups: a total of 2,941 sutras, including some of the most important doctrinal statements on anatman (the absence of a permanent soul) and pratityasamutpada (dependent origination).
		The Khuddaka Nikaya consists of 15 independent works, and includes poems, hymns of praise by monks and nuns, popular doctrinal statements such as the famous Dhammapada (Religious Sentences), and the Jatakas, the stories of former lives of the Buddha.
		Mahayana schools have often substituted their own treatises for this "basket." It is explicitly the work of eminent scholars, rather than the words of the Buddha himself.

		The scriptural evidence of the Nikayas and Agamas is ambivalent with regard to the Buddha's reported views on the existence or otherwise of a permanent self (atman/atta).
		Some of the major schools of Buddhism that developed subsequently maintained the former interpretation, but other influential schools adopted the latter interpretation and took measures to establish their view as the orthodox Buddhist position.
		Unfortunately, with the exception of the Theravada, none of early these schools survived beyond the late medieval period by which time several were already long extinct, although a considerable amount of the canonical literature of some of these schools has survived, mainly in Chinese translation.

		In the fifth group, the Jatakas, comprising stories of former lives of the Buddha, and the Dhammapada (Religious Sentences), a summary of the Buddha’s teachings on mental discipline and morality, are especially popular.
		As a group, these schools eventually came to be considered too conservative and literal minded in their attachment to the master’s message.

		The Shingon school is the premiere esoteric school of Japanese Buddhism and it was founded by Kukai (aka Kobo Daishi).
		However, in recent times, members of all the schools have begun to see that they do more harm to the Dharma by engaging in polemical debate and that each of the schools and their founders have things that are worth giving a respectful hearing.
		The Dalai Lama is the head of this school, and for several centuries the political leader of Tibet (the Mongols had set the Dalai Lamas up in that position in, I believe, the 17th century).
