According to its own accounts, the Theravāda school is fundamentally derived from the Vibhajjavāda (or "doctrine of analysis") grouping which was a division of the Sthavira ("Elders") stream.

(The Sthavira were in turn a breakaway group from the majority Mahāsāṃghika during the Second Buddhist council.) Theravadin accounts of its own origins mention that it received the teachings that were agreed upon the Third Buddhist Council, around 250 BCE, and these teachings were known as the Vibhajjavada. The Vibhajjavādins in turn split into four groups: the Mahīśāsaka, Kāśyapīya, Dharmaguptaka, and the Tāmraparnīya.

Third Buddhist Council is new Buddhist Political Council who breakaway from Second Buddhist Council. Buddhist Protestant.
