What is the difference between Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism?
Can you tell me the difference between Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism?
Sure. One main difference is their approach to achieving enlightenment. Theravada Buddhism focuses on individual enlightenment through meditation and self-discipline, while Mahayana Buddhism sees enlightenment as a collective goal and encourages the use of compassionate action to achieve it.
