EarlyBuddhism The term Early Buddhism can refer to Pre sectarian Buddhism , which refers to the Teachings and monastic organization and structure, founded by Gautama Buddha . The Early Buddhist schools , into which pre sectarian Buddhism split without formal schisms, in the sense of Vinaya . The period of Pre sectarian Buddhism lasted until about 100 years after the death of Gautama Buddha. The various splits within the monastic organization went together with the introduction and emphasis on Abhidhamma Abhidhammic literature by some schools. This literature was specific to each school, and arguments and disputes between the schools were often based on these Abhidhammic writings. However, actual splits were originally based on disagreements on vinaya monastic discipline , though later on, by about 100 Common Era CE or earlier, they could be based on doctrinal disagreement. ref Harvey, Introduction to Buddhism , Cambridge University Press, 1990, page 74 ref Pre sectarian Buddhism, however, did not have Abhidhammic scriptures, except perhaps for a basic framework, and not all of the early schools developed an Abhidhamma literature.
