Buddha-Dharma-Sangha History

Council of Rājagṛha – The First Buddhist Tripitaka Council

Post author By Cloud Monk
Post date January 31, 2021

“Council of Rājagṛha. The Council of *Rājagṛha, often called the ‘First Council’, is reported to have been held at Rājagṛha in the year of the *Buddha’s death with the objective of establishing the canon or at least two of its three divisions or ‘baskets’ (pi-taka). These include the collection of the Buddha’s discourses or sermons (sūtra/sutta) and the material relating to the organization and history of the order (Vinaya). A senior *monk, Kaśyapa, was charged with supervising the convocation made up of 500 *Arhats. He called upon *Ānanda (who gained *enlightenment during the proceedings of the council) to recite the Buddha’ discourses, and *Upāli to recite the rules of the Vinaya. Their utterances were accepted as accurate and decreed as constituting the content of the orthodox canon from that time on. It may be noted that the word translated as ‘council’ in this context is the Pāli word saṅgīti, which in fact means a ‘communal recitation’ of the kind that took place here. The early Buddhist ‘councils’, accordingly, should not be thought of as similar to their early Christian counterparts, which were usually convened to settle dogma. Modern research has cast serious doubts on the historicity of the traditional account of the First Council. In particular it is clear from internal evidence that the canon did not receive its final form until many years later, so it could not have been fixed at the early date the report claims. Most probably this claim was a device to retrospectively legitimize certain later literature as canonical.” (PDoB)

Kanjur (bka’-gyur). Tibetan Buddhist Canon of Sutras and Tantras

Post author By Cloud Monk
Post date January 31, 2021

“Kanjur (Tib., bka’-gyur). The Tibetan *canon of the translated (gyur) instructions (bka’) of the *Buddha, it comprises around 100 volumes containing over 1,000 *sutras and *tantras, mainly translated from *Sanskrit and other Indic languages with a few texts from Chinese. This collection is of great value to scholars since it preserves faithful translations of many Indic texts lost in the original Sanskrit. See also Tenjur” (PDoB)
