Hemavatā2
PersonUne secte hérétique de Jambudīpa, ainsi nommée parce que ses membres vivaient sur le mont Himavata, qui soutenait qu’un Bodhisatta n’est pas un simple mortel, que même des étrangers peuvent posséder les cinq connaissances supérieures, et que l’individu est distinct des agrégats
A heretical sect in Jambudīpa (Mhv.v.12; Dpv.v.54).
They were so called because they lived on Mount Himavata (Rockhill, Life of Buddha, p.184).
They held that a Bodhisatta was not an ordinary mortal, that even a outsider (tīrthaka) could have the five higher knowledges (abhiññā), that the individual (puggala) is separate from the aggregates (khandhā). Ibid., 190.
