The Basic Points Unifying the Theravda and the Mahyna is an important Buddhist
ecumenical statement created in 1967 during the First Congress of the World Buddhist Sangha
Council (WBSC), where its founder Secretary-General, the late Venerable Pandita Pimbure
Sorata Thera, requested the Ven. Walpola Rahula to present a concise formula for the unification
of all the different Buddhist traditions. This text was then unanimously approved by the Council.
