mahāvihāra theravāda buddhists

Where can I find more about mahāvihāra theravāda buddhists teachings?

Mahāvihāra theravāda buddhist=The Orally Recited Memorizing Tradition. Tipitaka orally keep from buddha to 1st-3rd saṇgayanā saṇgha. Mahindathera and his students go to singhala island at mahāvihāra. Then in about 450 ABE, tipitaka, that we using nowadays, wrote here in mahāvihāra. And we still keep tipitaka study tradition by orally reciting tradition follow to theravāda's tipitaka and commentary after that wrote, from mahāvihāra teacher to mahāvihāra student, from mahāvihāra teacher (whe has been a student) to burma student and thai student.
Course syllabus of the The Orally Recited Memorizing Tradition that wrote in commentary from 1st saṇgayanā, was translated in this answer: buddhism.stackexchange.com/a/22917/10100 . Also, you can found the rule in mahākhandhaka in mahāvagga of vinayapitaka, too. But no one translated it to english for free, right now.
