Chinese Buddhist canon
During the early period of Chinese Buddhism, the Indian Buddhist sects recognized as important, and whose texts were studied, were the Dharmaguptakas, Mahīśāsakas, Kāśyapīyas, Sarvāstivādins, and the Mahāsāṃghikas. Complete vinayas preserved in the Chinese Buddhist canon include the "Mahīśāsaka Vinaya" (T. 1421), "Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya" (T. 1425), "Dharmaguptaka Vinaya" (T. 1428), "Sarvāstivāda Vinaya" (T. 1435), and the "Mūlasarvāstivāda Vinaya" (T. 1442). Also preserved are a set of Āgamas (Sūtra Piṭaka), a complete Sarvāstivāda Abhidharma Piṭaka, and many other texts of the early Buddhist schools.
