The Abhidharma Mahāvibhāṣā Śāstra (Sanskrit: अभिधर्म महाविभाष शास्त्र) is an ancient Buddhist text.[1] It is thought to have been authored around 150 CE.[2] It is an encyclopedic work on Abhidharma, scholastic Buddhist philosophy. Its composition led to the founding of a new school of thought, called Vaibhāṣika ('those [upholders] of the Vibhāṣā'), which was very influential in the history of Buddhist thought and practice.
