An influential Buddhist school of the Small Vehicle (Hīnayāna), closely related to the Sarvāstivāda, which flourished in north-west India principally in Gandhāra and Kashmir. Their name derives from a great treatise known as the Mahāvibhāṣā (Great Book of Alternatives) which summarizes their views.
