Masuda, who happened to be a Lecturer in the Calcutta University and also a colleague of the present writer, in the Asia Major. Vol. II (1925) supplemented by the Tibetan texts on the eighteen schools by Bhavya and Vinitadeva entitled Nikaya-bhedavibhanga and Samaya bhedopararcana-cakra respectively. This book has been written an Epilogue, in which an attempt has been made to show how Mahayanism developed as a natural consequence of the views of the Mahasanghiksas and as a development of the nebulous conception of Bodhisattva and Buddhakayas in the Divyavadana and Avadana - sataka, ascribed to the Sarvastivadins and also as a reaction to the realism of the Sarvastivadins, and how gradually Mahayanism surpassed Hinayanism both in popularity and propagation. To this book has been added an Appendix, giving a synopsis of the ancient geography of India as described by Hiuen Tsang, throwing light on the dispersal of Buddhish sects in India along with a brief account of I-Tsing about the Buddhist sects in India and the localities where these were existing at his time, i.e., half a century after Hiuen Tsang's visit to India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788183151986\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NEW BHARATIYA BOOK CORPORATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49994612277552,"sku":"DRG.Newbhartiyabookcorporation__8183151981","price":720.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91tyWbFuKiL.jpg?v=1756464953","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/buddhist-sects-in-india","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
