Sammitiya (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Sa mit ya sect was an offshoot of the V ts putr ya sect, and was one of the eighteen or twenty early Buddhist schools in India. Like its predecessor, it claims the person (Sanskrit: pudgala) as a carrier of skandhas endures, and as such was a representative (perhaps the most prominent one) of the Pudgalav da schools.The Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang reported that the Sa mit ya of Sindh "have narrow views and attack the Mah y na," while the Tibetan historian T ran tha reported that the Sa mit ya were staunchly anti-Mah y na and anti-Vajray na, with Sa mit ya monks from the Sindh burning tantric scriptures and destroying a silver image of Hevajra at Vajr sana monastery in Bodh Gaya.
