Question

What do theravada and Mahayana show about society​

Answer 1

Answer:

Theravada and Mahayana show that the beliefs of society regarding salvation are different where one emphasizes on hardship and the other puts emphasize on simply practicing faith.

Explanation:

• Theravada Buddhism specifies for each of its followers the practices that one needs to follow based on who he or she is.

• The ways to follow Theravada is different for monks and nuns than that for lay people. These ways are strict and often turn into hardship.

• On the other hand, the Mahayana division of Buddhism preaches that to attain salvation, merely having faith and following the six virtues of Bodhisattva's is enough.
