I think the roots of Mahayana grew from these abhidharmic attempts to enumerate and systematise all dharmas, as well as some early debates over Sarvastivada's notion that everything exists, contrasted against someone's understanding of Dependent Origination. Probably around 100BC, not far from the upper flows of the Indus river, is my guess. | |
| Jul 26, 2019 at 18:14 | comment | added | Oleg Kunov | I don't have any objections to that :) I'm just interested in origins of Mahayana and how organic its development was with respect to pre-Mahayana views. Your answer made me sure that studying the structure of the canons and exegetical traditions will shed even more light on this. Thank you again. | |

| Jul 26, 2019 at 18:02 | comment | added | Oleg Kunov | Thank you, Andrei. So it seems like in the end Mahayana relies on Abhidharma(s) of some pre-Mahayana schools, and also on some set of pre-Mahayana sutras, although not such vast one like in the Pali Canon? Those sources of pre-Mahayana origin are included partly or entirely into the Mahayana Canons, with some rich exegesis made by early Mahayana authors, right? | |
