Dear Yong Peng,
You mentioned a mahayana council but not our theravadin council.4 th council
was by mahinda and his fellow monks in sri lanka.5th was by those who
written down the texts.sixth by buddhaghosa and his teachers.7 th in 12
century tika period -sariputa mahasami.8 in chieng mai 15 century .9 in siam
rama king 1 st.This is by sangitivamsa and sadhamasangaha but surely
rejected by burmese because they think 4 council is the one which texts were
written down,5 and 6 in burma.
