  3. Rehearsal is to preserve the original teachings of the Buddha as accurately as possible, not allowing anyone to alter, modify, omit, or add anything at whim. • Rehearsal is to collect and compile of all teachings of the Buddha word, from first until the end. • Rehearsal is the maintenance of the word of the Buddha is essential to the maintenance of Buddhism, it is regarded as an absolute necessity and also an issue of crucial importance in Buddhism to preserve the word of the Buddha. • Great efforts have been made to preserve the word of the Buddha ever since the Buddha’s time, even when he was still alive. What is a Rehearsal (Council)?

  4. Preserving the words of the Buddha is to collect the Buddha’s teachings, classify them in such a way as to facilitate memorization, rehearse, review them until everything is in place, and chant them in unison, thus showing approval for the text in question to serve as the model to be committed word for word to memory, them to be passed on to others and handed down to posterity. These are called the Sańgāyana, or Sańgīti, literally “Chanting together”

  5. When…? • Three months after the Buddha's Mahaparinibbana (passing away) • One hundred years later • In the 3rd Century B.C.

  6. After Buddha’s nirvana, the dhamma and sangha received directives from successive councils over a period of four centuries in a democratic manner. • Magadha king Ajatashatru organized the first Buddhist Council taking place at the SattapannaGuhā cave, on mount Vebhāra, outside of Rajagaha three months after Buddha’s mahanirvana. • King Kalashoka convened the second council at Vaishali. • Emperor Ashokapatronised the third council at Pataliputra and • King Kaniska convened the fourth council in Ceylon about four centuries later. • (Sańgītisutta) can be find in the DīghaNikaya of the Suttantapitaka. Where…?

  7. Why…? • The Venerable Cunda brought the news to the Buddha. (NigrunthaNātaputta, the founder of Jainism) • At that time the Venerable Sariputa, the chief disciples, he collected the Buddha’s teachings and expounded them, arranging them in groups of itemized Dhamma according to the number of items involved, ranging from groups of one to groups of ten.

  8. On hearing the news from a monk by name of Subhadda, who had been ordained in his old age, and said to them, why bother to weep at all? Isn’t it nice that the Buddha has attained his final Nibhāna? When he was alive, he was always being very strict with us, forbidding us to do this, telling us to do that. We difficulty being on our guard. Now that he was passed away, we may do just as we like. We will do whatever we like, and we’ll not do whatever we don’t like. On hearing this, the Elder Ven. Mahakassapa thought to himself that even as shortly after the Buddha’s final Nibhana as this, there were already people who were intent on deviating from the doctrine and disciplines.
