What is the difference between Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism?
That's interesting. What other differences are there between the two?
Another difference is their interpretation of the Buddhist scripture. Theravada Buddhism follows the Pali Canon, which includes the earliest Buddhist scriptures, while Mahayana Buddhism includes additional scriptures and focuses on the teachings of the bodhisattvas – beings who have attained enlightenment but choose to remain in the world to help others achieve it as well.
