mahā - 2025 Penn Bowl - Buzzpoints App

Question

In the name of an early Buddhist school that defended the supramundane nature of Buddhas, this adjective precedes a term for the Sangha. For 10 points each:

[10e] In either English or Sanskrit, name this adjective that describes a yāna, or vehicle, in the name of the current largest Buddhist tradition.

ANSWER: mahā [or great; accept Mahāsāṃghika or Mahāsaṃgha or Mahāyāna or Great Sangha or Great Vehicle]

[10h] During this event, the Mahāsāṃghikas split from the stricter Sthavira nikāya perhaps after a dispute about 10 practices, such as accepting money. Another account claims this event centered around Mahādeva’s “five points.”

ANSWER: Second Buddhist council [prompt on Buddhist council; prompt on First Schism by asking “the First Schism happened after what event?”]

[10m] The Mahāsāṃghikas sought to amend these texts, the first in the Pali Canon, which set out rules for the Sangha in their Patimokkha sections.

ANSWER: Vinayas [or Vinaya Piṭaka]
