Sarvastivada - Sarvastivada

Japanese: 説一切有部 - せついっさいうぶ

Also known as Sarvatāvatā. A representative sect of Hinayana Buddhism. It split off from the Theravāda sect around 300 years after the death of Shakyamuni. The founder of the sect was Katāyāyaniputra. He saw the self as unreal and the constituent elements (dharmas) as real, and created an orderly system that divides the entire universe into five categories and 75 constituent elements (five ranks and 75 laws). His representative works include the Mahāvibhāsa-śāstra and the Hāvatāstra, and the Abhidharma-śāstra is the main overview of the sect. The doctrines of this sect were actively studied because they were seen as the main opponent of Mahāyāna. Even in Mahāyāna Buddhist countries, the precepts are often based on those of this sect.

有部とも。小乗仏教の代表的一派。釈迦の滅後300年のころ，上座部より分かれた。部派の祖はカタヤーヤニプトラ。自我は非実在，構成諸要素（諸法）は実在と見て，全宇宙を五つの範疇(はんちゅう)と75の構成要素（五位七十五法）に分ける整然たる体系をつくり上げた。《大毘婆沙論》《発智論》などが代表的著作であり，《倶舎論》はこの部派の主要な概説書である。この部派の教義は，大乗の主要な論敵とみられたため盛んに研究された。大乗仏教国でも，戒律はこの部派の戒律によることが多い。
