	Theravada Attitudes Towards Violence
		Buddhist scriptures, whether they are in Pali or Sanskrit, are crucial and indispensable resources in understanding theoretical side of violence from a religious perspective and in elucidating non-violent path prescribed by the Buddha.
		Buddhist scholars also have the responsibility to interpret the nature of violence, the root causes of violent actions and show a path which transforms violence to peaceful actions.
		Thus, the Buddhist notion of protecting all forms of life and avoiding violent activities derive from the fundamental conviction that as one's life is worthy for oneself, others also have a similar position with respect to their own lives.

	Women In Theravada Buddhism
		Western Buddhists tend to come from a highly educated and socially liberal background, which means that they tend to feel that men and women are equal and should be given equal opportunities in all endeavors.
		Theravada is the oldest and most traditional of the various sects of Buddhism being imported to the United States.
		Although Theravada Buddhism as traditionally practiced may not survive in the mélange that will probably become American Buddhism, I have a feeling that the most important pieces of the Theravada tradition will be preserved.

	What is Theravada?
		Theravada (pronounced -- more or less -- "terraVAHduh"), the "Doctrine of the Elders," is the school of Buddhism that draws its scriptural inspiration from the texts of the Pali Canon, or Tipitaka, which scholars generally accept as containing the earliest surviving record of the Buddha's teachings.
		The language of the Theravada canonical texts is known as Pali (lit., "text"), which is based on a dialect of Middle Indo-Aryan that was probably spoken in central India during the Buddha's time.[5] Most of the sermons (suttas) the Buddha delivered were memorized by Ven.
		Until the late 19th century, the teachings of Theravada were little known outside of Southern and Southeast Asia, where they had flourished for some two and one-half millennia.

	Buddhist councils - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fourth Buddhist Council of the Mahayana was convened by the Kushan emperor Kanishka, around 100 CE at Jalandhar or in Kashmir, and is usually associated with the formal rise of Mahayana Buddhism.
		Theravada Buddhism does not recognize the authenticity of this council, and it is sometimes called the "council of heretical monks".
		The traditional recitation of the Buddhist Scriptures took two years and the Tripitaka and its allied literature in all the scripts were painstakingly examined and their differences noted down and the necessary corrections made and all the versions were then collated.
