[Mūlasarvāstivāda] School. One of the eighteen Hinayana schools. They assert all phenomena as included in the five categories (see- {gzhi lnga}), recite [sūtra]s in Sanskrit, their abbots are necessarily those belonging to the king's lineage, their multi-patched yellow upper shawl bears a wheel or lotus symbol, their [bikṣus] bear surnames with bhadra or Hridhya, they assert the three times as substantially existent, and they propound that through meditation on the selflessness of person and the accumulation of merits for three countless aeons an individual gains full enlightenment. There are seven sub-schools of this tradition (see- {gzhi thams cad yod par smra ba'i sde pa bdun}).
