In total, there are 6 Buddhist Councils being held until now However, in India, 3 Buddhist Councils have
been held 3rd Buddhist Councils is a little disputed one. Even 4th Buddhist Council is being held at 2
places; one in Sri Lanka and other in Jammu and Kashmir under Emperor Kanishka
However, some scholars consider 4th one equally tendentious as the 3rd Buddhist Council
