Theravada Buddhism, the "Doctrine of the Elders," is one of the three major
sects of Buddhism. It emerged out of a series of schisms that began in the 4th
century B.C.E. in the Buddhist communities of India and became prominent in
Sri Lanka and southeast Asia including Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and
Laos, which has led some to call it Southern Buddhism.

Pali

language, and prefers its scriptures to be studied in the
