Founded by Uttara.
Name means crossing over or transmigration. Focus on a set of non-changing skandhas that do not change from one existence to the next.
However, it is limited to the factors/aggregates, not a pudgala or self.
- Matter
- Feeling
- Ideation
- Conditionings
- Consciousness
One-Taste skandhas are permanent and used to help explain rebirth and karma.
- Forerunner to Alayavijnana doctrine (central to Yogacara)
Other schools had similar explanatory doctrines:
- Theravada = Existence-factor Consciousness
- Mahasanghika = Root-Consciousness
- Samkrantivada = One-Taste skandhas
Based on Sarvastivadins and Vatsiptriya doctrines.
