Ekavyaharaka

Ekavyaharaka

The Ekavyahāraka school of Buddhism split from the IAST|Mahāsaṃghikas during the reign of Aśoka. The Ekavyahārikas emphasized the transcendence of the Buddha, asserting that he was eternally enlightened and essentially non-physical.

The Lokottaravāda may be an offshoot of the Ekavyahārikas.
