The Svābhāvika School of Buddhism is said to be one of the oldest, and during the 19th century it was said to exist in Nepal.
H. P. Blavatsky defined it as follows:
Svâbhâvika (Sk.). The oldest existing school of Buddhism. They assigned the manifestation of the universe and physical phenomena to Svabhâva or respective nature of things. According to Wilson the Svabhâvas of things are “the inherent properties of the qualities by which they act, as soothing, terrific or stupefying, and the forms Swarûpas are the distinction of biped, quadruped, brute, fish, animal and the like”.[1]
