The Lankavatara Sutra is a Mahayana text that was (according to legend) spoken by Buddha or one of his disciples in Sri Lanka, and the text was composed some 2,000 years ago. That would make it one of the oldest Buddhist texts compiled and it could have some connection to the Theravada by the fact that Sri Lanka has always been a Theravada country from the time Ashoka sent his son who was a monk and his daughter who was a nun to Sri Lanka to teach Buddhism in the third century BCE.
