The Tāmraśāṭīya (Sanskrit: ताम्रशाटीय, Tāmraśāṭīya), also called Tāmraparṇīya (Sanskrit; Pali: Tambapaṇṇiya) or Theriya Nikāya (Pali),^[1]^[2] was one of the early schools of Buddhism and a branch of the Vibhajyavāda (ancestor of the Theravāda) school based in Sri Lanka.

Its sutras were written mainly in Pali; and the Pali canon of Buddhism largely borrowed from this school.^[3] The Tāmraśāṭīya is also known as the Southern transmission or Mahaviharavasin tradition.^[3]^[4] This contrasts with Sarvastivada or the 'Northern transmission', which was mostly written in Sanskrit and translated into Chinese and Tibetic languages.^[3]

The Tamrashatiya played a major role in the development of Theravada Buddhism and influenced Buddhist thoughts in Myanmar, Thailand, and other parts of Southeast Asia.^[4]^{[better source needed]}
