		Also, emissaries were sent to various countries in order to spread Buddhism, as far as the Greek kingdoms in the West (in particular the neighboring Greco-Bactrian Kingdom, and possibly even farther to the Mediterranean according to the inscriptions left on stone pillars by Ashoka).
		After 250 BC, the Sarvastivadin (who had been rejected by the 3rd council, according to the Theravada tradition) and the Dharmaguptaka schools became quite influencial in northwestern India and Central Asia, up to the time of the Kushan Empire in the first centuries of the common era.
		The fourth Buddhist council was convened by the Kushan emperor Kanishka, around 100 AD at Jalandhar or in Kashmir, and is usually associated with the formal rise of Mahayana Buddhism.

		The third Buddhist council was convened by the Mauryan king Ashoka (260-218 BC) at Pataliputra (today's Patna), and held by the monk Moggaliputta.
		After 250 BC, the Sarvastivadin (who had been rejected by the 3rd council, according to the Theravada tradition) and the Dharmaguptaka schools became quite influential in northwestern India and Central Asia, up to the time of the Kushan Empire in the first centuries of the common era.
		The Sarvastivadin believed that past, present and future are all simultaneous.

	Sarvastivada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among the defining canonical texts composed by the Sarvastivada was the Maha-vaibhasa-abhidharma-shastra, traditionally considered a systematization of the spoken teachings of Gautama Buddha.
		This text reflects the unique Sarvastivadin cosmology and ontology, a byzantine structure of essences and universals.
		The basic approach of the Sarvastivada was to regard the universe as reducible to various elements or co-efficients of existence; apparently, these were determined by taking lists of the various "indivisible" factors and substances named in the Buddha's dialogues.

	History of Buddhism in India
		The Fourth Buddhist Council was held under the auspices of King Kaniska at Jalandhar or in Kashmir around 100 CE, where 499 monks of the Sarvastivadin school compiled a new canon.
		The Sarvastivadin developed later sub-schools known as Vaibasika and Sautrantika.
		The Sarvastivadin school is important in that it formed the basis for the later development of Mahayana.

		Thus it is helpful to understand where the terms are coming from in order to grasp their connotations and to gain an intuitive sense -- based on our own familiarity with fire and music -- of what they mean.
		In a few instances, I have cited alternative versions of the discourses -- such as those contained in the Sarvastivadin Canon preserved in Chinese translation -- to throw light on passages in the Pali.
		Although the Sarvastivadin Canon as a whole seems to be later than the Pali, there is no way of knowing whether particular Sarvastivadin discourses are earlier or later than their Pali counterparts, so the comparisons drawn between the two are intended simply as food for thought.

		The Sarvastivadins concluded their analysis of the dharmas with the recognition of discrete atomic elements comprising all of reality and discrete indivisible moments comprising time.
		Since this svabhava was necessary to explain the impermanence of phenomena, it was held by the Sarvastivadins to be permanent and unchanging.
		Thus, the Sarvastivadins become known as substantialists for their assertion of an essential substance underlying and giving continuity to perceived reality.

		The Nyingmapa employ a nine level system, the upper six being divided into the inner and outer tantras while the second is upheld by the new schools which divide the tantras into four classes.
		Sarvastivadin: During King Asoka's reign, a group of Bhiksus in Mathura developed certain convictions about the Buddha's teachings concerning existence that distinguished them from the rest of the sangha.
		Vaibhasika and the Sautrantika are offshoots of the Sarvastivadin school.

	How old is the Suttapitaka?
		Elsewhere, Frauwallner has noted that the Sarvastivadin Abhidharma contains much that 'was held in common with the Pali school.' [49] And the Śariputrabhidharma, which according to Frauwallner is a Dharmaguptaka text, is also a development of the same material inherited by the Sarvastivadin and Pali schools.
		Sêng yu and Hui Chao related this Vinaya to the patriarchal lineage ending in Upagupta, the fifth patriarch of the Buddhist community of Mathura.[98] Kumarajiva went further and stated that the Vinaya in 80 sections was that of the community in Mathura.
		More recently, Enomoto has recently argued that the Sarvastivadin sect was no different from the Mulasarvastivadin -- he argues that the two words mean the same thing, but this does not explain the odd facts: two different Vinaya-s, two similar names, and two explanations of their relationship in fifth century Chinese works.

		We also know that it was their version of the Dirghagama which was translated into Chinese between 410 and 413 CE, and it was also the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya that was observed by Chinese monks.
		Under the guidance of Sarvastivadin teachers in the region, a number of influential mediation schools evolved which took as their inspiration the Bodhisattva Maitreya.
		Kashmir was also the home of Sangharaksa, a Sarvastivadin meditation teacher who was a contemporary of Kaniska and who wrote a meditation manual entitled the Yogacarabhumi, which was to be the model for the later text of the same name by the Mahayanist, Asanga.

	Overview of Buddhism
		The closest we are going to get to the actual life and teachings of the historical Shakyamuni Buddha and his first disciples is in the Pali Canon of the Theravadin school and the Chinese Agamas.
		The Agamas are the Chinese translations of the Sarvastivadin canon.
		The Sarvastivadins were a major school of Indian Buddhism that disappeared in the 12th century.

		It became necessary to distinguish the groups formed by the first four Nikaya and the four Agama from the group of the fifth Nikaya and corresponding texts which are more recent.
		This ignorance is the same as is displayed in the Vinazapitaka of the Sarvastivadin, although somewhat more significant as the other only alluded to Rahula's ordination.
		As for the story of the foundation of the order of nuns, between the Mahasanigika, Sarvastivadin, Theravadin, Masisaka and the Dharmapupta none specifies Buddha's wife as figuring amidst the 500 anonymous women who accompany Queen Gautami.

		The primary reason for Bechert's belief does appear to be his acceptance of the claim that there is evidence for the presence of the short chronology in ancient Ceylon, specifically in the Dipavamsa.
		In any case, even if the text is taken as it stands, it would not prove Bechert's contention in the sense intended.
		He suggests that the passage in question could then derive from Sarvastivadin sources i.e.

		The school adhered primarily to two Sarvastivadin texts, the Jnanaprasthana and Abhidharmavibbasa-shastra.
		It is said that this school was established to harmonize the difference between the Sthaviras and Mahasanghikas.
		The Abhidhamma Pitaka was the definite work of this school, thus they gained supremacy over the Sarvastivadins in the Third Council.

		In addition to learning the scriptures and treatises of the Sarvastivadin school, Kumarajiva seized the opportunity afforded by his presence in India to study medicine, astronomy and astrology, exegetical and hermeneutical methods of exposition, logic and the applied sciences.
		As a follower of Sarvastivadin doctrines, Kumarajiva held that the dharmas or ultimate constituents of existence are eternally real, whereas empirical phenomena, which arise out of the momentary confluence of dharmas under karma, are unreal.
		Sutyasoma adhered to the Mahayana view that all dharmas are themselves unreal; ontologically, dharmas are like empty space and assume distinct existence only in their momentary, ever-changing combinations.

	Wood Valley Temple & Meditation Center - Doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism
		In Tibet, this Path of Individual Liberation is practiced by observance of monks' vows and the respective disciplines and precepts are taken from the Sarvastivada system, another branch of the Vaibhashika school.
		The difference is the 227 vows in the Theravadin and 253 monks' vows in the Sarvastivadin system.
		Other Theravadin practices, such as methods to generate meditative stabilization, set forth in Vasubandhu's Abhidharmakosha (Treasury of Knowledge) and the 37 harmonies of enlightenment (a central part of Hinayana path structure) are also practiced in Tibetan Buddhism.

		There are no Sarvastivadins today; the importance of the school is that Madhyamaka and Yogacara developed their views by attempting to refute Sarvastivada.
		Foundations of Abhidharma: Probably Sarvastivadin theory is based on Abhidharma, which contains classification of objects (dharmas) based on meditative experience.
		Knowablity: Sarvastivadins held that unless the dharmas are fundamentally real, knowledge is impossible.

	A glimpse into the world of Buddhist nuns
		As a part of her doctoral work in the Department of Religious Studies, Cindy Crowhurst is translating a Tibetan vinaya that has no previous English translation.
		The title of the text is mulasarvastivadin bhiksuni vinaya vibhanga, which translates as a commentary on the rules of discipline for nuns of the sarvastivadin school.
		For Crowhurst, the point is to look at this text of monastic rules and perhaps see the real monastic life of the Buddhist nun hidden in and behind the existence of these restrictions.
