I have a few questions regarding the councils of Buddhists:
  1. Who participates in theses councils?
  2. Are all the participants enlightened?
  3. If yes, then why were there disagreements and second-guessing over certain issues? If everyone was enlightened and all-knowing, everyone would automatically agree on everything. There would be no need for enlightened people to prove stuff to each other because they both already ‘know’ the truth.
  4. If no, then why should the word of unenlightened people be given authority over matters of dharma?
