34.59
In the thirty-fourth year, one hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa, monks of the Vṛji clan (meaning 'to avoid') in the city of Vaiśālī arbitrarily practiced the ten points—such as the Buddha permitting taking food with two fingers, up to receiving gold and silver. Each and every one of these was examined and verified to be non-Dharma and non-vinaya (translated as 'discipline'). Seven hundred arhats assembled to recite the Dharma and vinaya (this was the second council of seven hundred).
