Which of the following religious teachers was not contemporary to the Buddha ?
Mogaliputta Tissa
Mogaliputta Tissa option is correct.
The Buddha (c. 563—483 BCE) lived during the ferment of the “Second Urbanisation” in the middle Ganga plain, when heterodox teachers challenged Vedic ritualism. Buddhist canonical texts (Samannaphala Sutta of the Digha Nikaya) list six heretical teachers who were his contemporaries and rivals: Purana Kashyapa, Makkhali Gosala, Ajita Kesakambali, Pakudha Katyayana, Sanjaya Belatthiputta and Nigantha Nataputta (Mahavira).
Mogaliputta Tissa, by contrast, belongs to the third century BCE. He was the preceptor of Ashoka, presided over the Third Buddhist Council held at Pataliputra c. 250 BCE, and is credited with compiling the Kathavatthu. He therefore lived roughly two centuries after the Buddha and could not have been his contemporary.
Sanjay Belatthiputra (the sceptic), Prakruddha Katyayana (Pakudha, the atomist) and Purna Kashyapa (the antinomian) all appear in the same Buddhist list of six teachers who taught alongside the Buddha at Rajagriha and Sravasti.
