The deva answered: 'The concealment or manifestation of the Great Sage was merely an arising and ceasing in accordance with capacity; the compilation of the remnants of the Tripiṭaka varied according to the size of the assembly and the differing texts of the Vinaya and treatises. For instance, in the Vinaya texts, both the five hundred and the seven hundred honor the Venerable Mahākāśyapa as the foremost leader of the assembly. As in the Dazhidulun, a supreme selection of one thousand persons was made, all of whom were alike aśaikṣa. After the council was concluded, the outer assembly was convened to recite anew what had been compiled; those who disagreed split into two schools: following the Venerable Kāśyapa, it was called the Sthaviravāda, while the remaining, more numerous outer assembly was called the Mahāsāṃghika. According to the Mañjuśrīparipṛcchā-sūtra, the initial division into two schools was precisely this event. Broadly speaking, the Tripiṭaka of both Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna was produced by Ānanda, and their place of assembly was collectively at Rājagṛha. However, based on Mañjuśrī's assembly, where the Mahāyāna was briefly compiled, that took place between the two realms outside the Great Cakravāla Mountains. Now to clarify the protocol: initially, after the Buddha passed into extinction, his remains were kept for one month, and only after offerings were made to the relics was the cremation (jhāpita) begun (according to the Vinaya, it was kept for seven days in order to await the arrival of Kāśyapa). On that very day, the cremation was completed and the stūpa was also erected. The entire great assembly proceeded to the Jetavana monastery in Śrāvastī. The Venerable Mahākāśyapa had Little Maudgalyāyana (of whom there were six of the same name, all of great spiritual power) strike the bell at the Saṃgha's ordination platform to assemble the community. At that time, ordinary and noble saṃgha members from across the ten billion four-continents all assembled. Thereupon, after performing the fourfold jñapti-karman and penalizing Piṇḍola and Ānanda, Ānanda ascended the high seat, donned the Buddha's cotton saṃghāṭī, and first recited the Yijiao jing (Sūtra of the Bequeathed Teaching), just as the Buddha had laid down instructions while in the world. At that time, the great bodhisattvas, arhats, all bhikṣus, devas, nāgas, and the eight classes of beings, upon hearing it, wept with sorrow, unable to contain themselves.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.65) - [Next: 12.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.67) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.12.66) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.66) · Pramāṇa
