There are contradictions about the age of Nalanda in the text. This webpage: http://www.indiaplaces.com/india-monuments/nalanda-university.html claims, that at least the International Scholastic Centre is older than the main foundations. Some even claim it was already a university in the time of the Buddha. Perhaps someone with more information could give sources for the various claims.

The article mentions "later mystic Theravada schools" developed at Nalanda. What are these schools? What does this refer to? I don't know what this means. Thank you. Bhikkhu Santi Seattle.

[edit] Citing Sources

Please sign your comments with four ~. I caught this article in the maintenance list so I took out the unsourced statements flagged by the interested party and surrounded them with html comment markers. Further, I demonstrated the use of a single footnote, multiple times as demonstrated in footnotes. There are other statements in the article that should be sourced as well, but I'm not going to flag them as this isn't an area of interest for me. Religious articles are typically controversial and the editors of this article most likely will need to cite reliable sources if they don't want others to remove their remarks.
