no budistu konciliem
"At the Second Council, there was disagreement between the Theravaada and Mahayana Schools (..) According to the Mahayana version, the liberal monk Mahaadeva initiated the Second Council with five criticisms against the conservative arhats who dominated the Buddhism of the time by virtue of their supposed enlightenment. The five criticisms were that those who claimed to be arhats 1) had not fully conquered passion as they still had wet dreams, 2) were not omniscient because they often had to ask for directions, etc, 3) were still subject to doubts, 4) had gained their knowledge throught others rather than throught their own experience, and 5) would be making verbal exclamations during meditation."
