The First Buddhist council was convened just after the Buddha's passing away in ca. 400 BCE.
Description
A council of 500 Arahats was held at Rajgir (Sanskrit: Rājagṛha) to agree the contents of the Dhamma and Vinaya. Ananda recited the Suttas, such that each begins: ‘Thus have I heard’. The monk Upali (Sanskrit उपालि upāli) recited the Vinaya.
