Hemavatā2

Person

閻浮提的一個異端教派,因其成員居於喜馬拉雅山而得名;他們主張菩薩並非凡夫俗子,外道也能具足五神通,且個體(補特伽羅)異於五蘊。

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.
