This research is carried out by library method with content analysis as its primary approach. The data are gathered from various literary sources such as journals, books and relevant articles related to the research topic. As result, the chronology of the Pāli as the sacred language of Buddhist text can be understood. In early period, the term Pāli did not indicate as a language, but it refered to the texts or Buddhist scripture. Pāli is defined as the texts or scripture (pāṭhe iti pi pāḷi) which means “that which protects.” It is called Pāli because it protects the teaching (pāḷīti atthaṃ pāletīti pāḷi). Therefore, the term Pāli is considered synonymous with terms Buddhavacana, Tipiṭaka, Tanti, and Pariyatti. The language had been used by the Buddha when delivering the teachings was identified as Māgadhī. Pāli literature such as commentaries and chronicles hightlight that Pāli as Māgadhī, Māgadhānirutti or Māgadhikabhāsā which was the language spoken by the Buddha during his lifetime. In conclusion, at the beginning Pāli means the scripture, but later it came to be recognized as the language of the scripture.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This research provides a critical examination over the controversy surrounding the history of Abhidhamma based on historical background and written tradition. It is a library research which was done by collecting and scrutinizing data from the Tipitaka and its commentaries, combined with articles and books written by Buddhist scholars. Abhidhamma which is traditionally understood as higher teaching taught by the Buddha, reveals controversies among Buddhist scholars. They questioned the historical authenticity of Abhidhamma as the words of the Buddha, since they found several incompatibilities when looking at the historical background of the development of Buddhist literature. Kathāvatthuppakaraṇa, one of the seven books of Abhidhamma Piṭaka, is strong evidence that the book was compiled by Ven. Mogaliputtatissa Thera in the end of the third Buddhist council long after the parinibbāna of the Buddha. However, the written tradition as reported in the commentaries asserts that Abhidhamma should be accepted as Buddhavacana. Bhikkhu Buddhaghosa Thera in his commentaries consistently tried to highlight the Abhidhamma as higher teachings that should be acknowledged as Buddhavacana. This research sheds light on how the history of Abhidhamma is perceived on through the lenses of history and written tradition.

Abstract

The theory of rebirth is widely accepted in Indian philosophy and it is mostly connected with the soul which keeps moving from one life to another life. Since the Buddha rejects the concept of the eternal soul by presenting Anatta theory, many questions are risen whether the Buddha teaches rebirth. Some people assume that the Buddha accepts the doctrine of rebirth because it is popular in pre-Buddhist traditions. This present research purpose is to give a critical explanation of the question of whether the Buddha teaches rebirth. This research is carried out with a library approach by collecting information from canonical texts as well as their commentaries. This research results from a comprehensive explanation of rebirth taught by the Buddha which is very unique and different from the theory of rebirth explained by other Indian traditions. The theory of rebirth (punabbhava) taught by the Buddha neither has an association with any external authority such as Brahma, Jagadātma, or God, nor with any internal entity such as ātma, pudgalātma, or soul. The teachings dealing with rebirth are found in many discourses, especially interconnected with a theory of Karma.

Mogaliputtatissa Thera at the end of the meeting. As result of that, Abhidhamma Pitaka consists of seven books, including Kathāvatthuppakaraṇa. In conclusion, the third Buddhist council marked a crucial point in the development of Theravāda Abhidhamma.

Abstract

This research aims to discover the Buddhist strategies for dealing with anger based on Buddha’s teachings as presented in the Sutta Pitaka. This research is qualitative research with a library approach. The research was carried out in three steps, namely: 1) Esanā or step of data collection, namely by collecting information from the Pali Canon or books, journals, articles that are relevant to the research topic; 2) Vimaṃsā or data analysis by means of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions; 3) Anubodha or step of drawing conclusion to answer the research objectives. This research shows that anger is a negative emotion that brings negative impacts on an individual and social life. The emotion of anger can appear in the form of hatred (dosa), ill will (byāpāda), aversion (paṭigha), anger (kodha), and conflict (āghāta). The Buddha’s teachings contained in the Sutta Pitaka can be a strategic solution for dealing with anger. The Paṭhamaāghātapaṭivinaya Sutta and Vitakkasaṇṭhāna Sutta offer strategic solutions for dealing with anger in accordance with Buddha’s teachings. Thus, Buddha’s teachings can be applied as a practical guide for dealing with anger in daily life.

Abstract

This qualitative study utilizes a comprehensive library research approach, focusing on both primary and secondary sources to explore the chronological background on the emergence of early Buddhist schools. Primary sources include the canonical, chronicles and other Pāli literatures. While secondary sources include previous research articles and books written by scholars. This research discovered that the Buddhist councils held by the leading disciples after the demise of the Buddha played a significant role in the division of Buddhist order and the emergence of Buddhist schools. Buddhist councils were mainly convened to discuss and resolve controversial issues that arose within the order. Schism in the Buddhist order emerged as result of disagreements in regard to philosophical teaching and the practice of vinaya. Disagreements among the monks in the second Buddhist council led to the division of Buddhist order into two primary schools known as Theravāda and Mahāsaṅgika. From these two primary Buddhist schools, gradually eighteen Buddhist schools emerged, with twelve schools deriving from Theravāda and six from Mahāsaṅgika. This research deals with an in-depth study on the emergence of eighteen early Buddhist schools).
