1st Buddhist council (5th c. BCE) The first Buddhist council was
held soon after the death of the Buddha under the patronage of king
Ajatasatru of the Magadha empire, and presided by a monk named
Mahakasyapa, at Rajagriha (today's Rajgir). The objective of the
council was to record the Buddha's sayings (sutra) and codify
monastic rules (vinaya): Ananda, one of the Buddha's main disciples
and his cousin, was called upon to recite the discourses of the
Buddha, and Upali, another disciple, recited the rules of the
vinaya. These became the basis of the Pali Canon, which has been
the orthodox text of reference throughout the history of Buddhism.
2nd Buddhist council (383 BCE) The second Buddhist council was
convened by King Kalasoka and held at Vaisali, following conflicts
between the traditional schools of Buddhism and a more liberal
interpretational movement called the Mahasanghikas.
The traditional schools considered the Buddha as a human being
who reached enlightenment, which could be most easily attained by
monks following the monastic rules and practicing the teaching for
the sake of overcoming suffering and attaining Arahantship. The
secessionist Mahasangikas, however, tended to consider this
approach too individualistic and selfish. They considered the
objective of becoming an arhat insufficient, and instead proposed
that the only true goal was to reach full buddhahood, in a sense
opening the way to future Mahayana thought. They became proponents
of more relaxed monastic rules, which could appeal to a large
majority of monastic and lay people (hence their name the "great"
or "majority" assembly). The council ended with the rejection of
the Mahasanghikas. They left the council and maintained themselves
for several centuries in northwestern India and Central Asia
according to Kharoshti inscriptions found near the Oxus and dated
c. 1st century AD.
Ashokan proselytism (c. 260 BCE) The Mauryan king Ashoka
(273�232 BCE) converted to Buddhism after his bloody conquest of
the territory of Kalinga (today's Orissa) in the east of India.
Regretful of the horrors brought by the conflict, the king decided
to renounce violence, and to advertise the faith by building stupas
and pillars urging for the respect of all animal life, and
enjoining people to follow the Dharma. He also built roads and
hospitals around the country. This period marks the first spread of
Buddhism beyond India. According to the plates and pillars left by
king Ashoka (the Edicts of Ashoka), emissaries were sent to various
countries in order to spread Buddhism, as far as the Greek kingdoms
in the West, in particular the neighboring Greco-Bactrian Kingdom,
and possibly even farther to the Mediterranean according to the
stone inscriptions left by Ashoka.
