Michael Beisert. Budismo Theravada. Uma Cronologia Histórica "...no sul da Índia a escola de pensamento predominante era a "Vibhajjavada" que acabou se estabelecendo no Sri Lanka com a denominação Theravada." Consultado em 02 de agosto de 2017.
Sarvastivada ("Doctrine That All Is Real"). Os sarvastivadins enfatizavam que os dhammas (fenômenos) são realidades eternamente existentes. Literalmente, era uma seita que enfatizava a existência de todas as coisas.
The Buddhist Way of Life: Its's Philosophy and History. This short survey of the first four Buddhist Councils or Conferences indicates that four chief schools held the field: (1) Theravadins; (2) Mahasanghikas; (3) Sammitiyas; (4) Sarvastivadins. "...(1) Theravadins: '...Two other names for this school are Sthaviravadins and Vibhajjavadins.'"
Introdução a Filosofia Budista: Vaibhāṣika (Detalhistas). Os seguidores desta escola eram adeptos do Mahāvibhāṣa Śāstra (oceano de detalhadas explanações, ou grandes explanações detalhadas), e dos textos do Abhidhamma (Sarvastivada) de modo geral. Eles argumentam que os três tempos - presente, passado e futuro - são substancialmente existentes, e se focam em identificar e classificar os componentes "últimos do real", que são denominados de dharmas - e é esse o sentido que a palavra dharma adquire nesse contexto. Esta escola tem origem muito antiga, compreendendo o ramo caxemira da escola Sarvastivada.

Vibhajjavada vs. Sarvastivada? 'Those who say that all exists — the past, the future, and the present — are called "They who say that all exists" or Sarvāstivādins.' 'Those who say that some things exist, (such as) past actions of which the result has not matured, and that some do not exist, (such as) those deeds of which the consequences have occurred and the things of the future; making categories (or divisions), they are called in consequence "They who speak of divisions" or Vibhajjavādins.'

Sarvastivada. Sarvastivada is an early school of Buddhism that held to 'the existence of all dharmas in the past, present and future, the 'three times'. The Abhidharma Kosa-bhaṣya, a later text, states: "25c-d. He who affirms the existence of the dharmas of the three time periods [past, present and future] is held to be a Sarvastivadin."
