Theravāda
Text라자가하 결집에서 장로들이 편찬한 불전에 붙여진 이름으로, 훗날 다른 열일곱 부파가 갈라져 나온 가장 정통적인 전통으로 여겨진다
The name given to the Buddhist Canon as compiled by the Elders at the Rājagaha Council (Mhv.iii.40).
It was considered the most orthodox; from it seventeen other schools branched off from time to time in later ages, as a result of schisms in the Order (Mhv.v.1 f).
The followers of the Theravāda are called Theravādins (e.g., Cv.xxxviii.37) and their succession, Theravaṃsa (e.g., Cv.lii.46; liv.46).
