long disciplined

• A translation of the Sanskrit sthavira, transliterated as 他毘梨與部. With the basic meaning being that of a "long-disciplined virtuous monk," it is also the name of one of the early Indian Buddhist schools—Sthavira. The term is used in Chan with its original meaning. 〔四分律 T 1428.22.851b24〕 [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Yokoi]
