Nalanda University: 1 Answered Question

What were subjects taught or 'majors' in Nalanda University in ancient India?

Ambarish BhattacharyaB.Tech CSE, IIT BHU (2018)

Most of the things we know about Nalanda University are from Tibetan traditions and preachings. There are many accounts about Nalanda by Hiuen Tsang and Yijing who preached Buddhism in China by adapting many texts from Nalanda University.

Apparently, there are four doxographies on Buddhist philosophies taught at Nalanda which are as follows.

Sarvastivada Vaibhasika (which is based on early orthodox Kashmiri Buddhist tradition)
Sarvastivada Sautrantika
Madhyamaka, the Mahayana philosophy of Nagarjuna
Chittamatra, the Mahayana philosophy of Asanga and Vasubandhu

Along with these, for major preachings, Nalanda also focused on Vedic learning which revolved around Vedic texts, rituals, Samkhya, and the Vedangas. Medicine, law, astronomy, city planning, linguistics, and reasoning were also part of their curriculum.
