The Buddha has passed away, but the sublime Teaching, which He expounded during His long and successful ministry and which He unreservedly bequeathed to humanity, still exists in its pristine purity. Although the Master has left no written records of His Teachings, His disciples preserved them, by committing to memory and transmitting them orally from generation to generation. This First Council compiled and arranged in its present form the Pali Tipitaka, which represents the entire body of the Buddha's Teaching. Two other Councils of Arahants were held 100 and 236 years late respectively, again to rehearse the Word of the Buddha because attempts were being made to pollute the pure Teaching. About 83 B.C., during the reign of the pious Simhala King Vatta Gamani Abhaya, a Council of Arahants was held, and the Tipitaka  was, for the first time in the history of Buddhism, committed to writing at Aluvihara in Ceylon.
