3. Mahayana Buddhism
- www.wsu.edu:8000
- Theravada Buddhism focused primarily on meditation and concentration, the eighth of the Eightfold Noble Path; as a result, it centered on a monastic life and an extreme expenditure of time in meditating. This left little room for the bulk of humanity to join in, so a new schism erupted within the ranks of Buddhism in the first century AD, one that would attempt to reformulate the teachings of Buddha to accomodate a greater number of people. They called their new Buddhism, the "Greater Vehicle" (literally, "The Greater Ox-Cart") or Mahayana, since it could accomodate more people and more believers from all walks of life. They distinguished themselves from mainstream Theravada Buddhism by contemptuously referring to Theravada as Hinayana, or "The Lesser Vehicle. ...
- The Mahayanists, however, did not see themselves as creating a new start for Buddhism, rather they claimed to be recovering the original teachings of Buddha, in much the same way that the Protestant reformers of sixteenth century Europe claimed that they were not creating a new Christianity but recovering the original form. ...
- The Mahayanists managed to turn Buddhism into a more esoteric religion by developing a theory of gradations of Buddhahood. ...
- This idea of the bodhisattva was one of the most important innovations of Mahayana Buddhism. ...
- While we do not know much about the earliest forms of Buddhism, there is some evidence that the earliest followers believed that there was only the one Buddha and that no more would follow. ...
- The goal of Theravada Buddhism is practically unattainable. In order to make Buddhism a more esoteric religion, the Mahayanists invented two grades of Buddhist attainment below becoming a Buddha. ... Mahayana Buddhism establishes the arhant as the goal for all believers. ...
- Finally, the Mahayanists completed the conversion of Buddhism from a philosophy to religion. Therevada Buddhism holds that Buddha was a historical person who, on his death, ceased to exist. ... The Buddha was not a human being, as he was in Theravada Buddhism, but the manifestation of a universal, spiritual being. ...

7. Common Misconceptions About Buddhism
- www.livingdharma.org
- About Buddhism in America.
- "Buddhism is a 'pagan' religion" "Paganism" is usually used to refer to belief in a god or gods other than the normally accepted Christian God. ... Buddhism is really an attitude of accepting the inevitable changes or impermanence of life, and of being grateful for every moment we are alive.
- "All Buddhists believe in reincarnation" This misconception is understandable, given that Tibetan Buddhists (such as the Dalai Lama), who do believe in a form of reincarnation, are perhaps the most "visible" of the many sects of Buddhism. Also, watching recent movies like Little Buddha, Seven Years in Tibet or Kundun, might lead one to believe that Tibetan Buddhism is "representative" of Buddhism in general. ...
- "Shin Buddhism in America is for Japanese or Japanese-Americans only" This belief is understandable, since even here in California (the so-called "melting-pot of the world"), when you walk into the typical Shin Buddhist temple, you usually see a predominantly Japanese-American membership. ... It has nothing whatsoever to do with the underlying truth of Buddhism itself. ... If you are interested in Buddhism, the ultimate test of whether it is indeed universal or not, is to read the teachings of the Buddha, Shinran Shonin, and others for yourself, as represented here in this and other websites (see our Library and Links). We hope you'll agree that Buddhism is a wonderful and precious teaching for everyone. ...
