He also played a role in the spread of Buddhism to other parts of India.<\/p>\n<p>The Sthavira and Mahasanghika schools were two of the earliest schools of Buddhism. The Sthavira school was the more conservative of the two schools, while the Mahasanghika school was more open to new ideas. The dispute between the two schools centered on the interpretation of the Buddha&#8217;s teachings. The Sthavira school believed that the Buddha&#8217;s teachings were to be interpreted literally, while the Mahasanghika school believed that the Buddha&#8217;s teachings could be interpreted more flexibly.<\/p>\n<p>The Second Buddhist Council was a major event in the history of Buddhism.
