Can I believe in Buddhism and not in Mahayana? I think Hinayana is better than Mahayana 1 Hinayana i

The Buddha said that it is appropriate to rebuke the small with the big, and to rebuke the big with the small is a very heavy negative karma! Any Dharma is a birth dharma, so you think that Hinayana can be free of taboos, that's wrong. Most of the Hinayana precepts are precepts, and Mahayana is precepts.

If you follow your mentality and become a qualitative sound, you will be rebuked by the Buddha as "a self-righteous man, a scorched seed". Hinayana is said for people with shallow roots, and Mahayana is said for people with deep roots.

The similarities are that both practitioners believe in karma, both require people to let go of delusions, separation, and attachments, both require people to cultivate good and break evil, and both require people to be good people and be gentlemen.

The most fundamental difference lies in the different purposes of practice: Hinayana Buddhism only cares about self-liberation and self-improvement, becoming a "self-master", and does not develop the bodhicitta of saving all beings in the world, and some practitioners make people feel indifferent and self-closed; Although some practitioners have transformed the world, they only stay at the lower level of persuading people to cultivate good and cut off evil (with the Ten Good Karma Sutras and the Ananda Sutra as a guide). Mahayana practitioners, on the other hand, not only emphasize self-liberation, but more importantly, develop bodhichitta and make a great vow to save all sentient beings.

Sometimes, they even sacrifice their lives to save the suffering of sentient beings. Of course, in the early stage of cultivation, you can focus on self-control, and you may not have the ability to save sentient beings, but your wish must be to benefit the majority of sentient beings. Therefore, Mahayana Buddhism is a perfect combination of self-discipline and self-discipline, which is the way to improve one's own level of practice by saving sentient beings.

Of course, the results of practice are different: the ultimate state of Hinayana Buddhism can only be the level of an arhat and a Buddha, and the state of partial nirvana, which only understands the partial truth of the universe, cannot even reach the realm of a bodhisattva, and is imperfect. Mahayana Buddhism has 84,000 methods, and the methods of practice are different, but the ultimate goal is to become a Buddha, to fully understand and realize the truth of the universe and the true meaning of life.

The boundary between Mahayana and Hinayana is a very confusing issue, because some people teach Hinayana fruit according to Mahayana, and some people practice Mahayana according to Hinayana views, so it is necessary to distinguish clearly.

The Hinayana teachings (some Hinayana schools also recognize the Mahayana scriptures) as the basis of the Buddha's language, and it is the Mahayana religion that recognizes the root teachings and uses the Mahayana scriptures as the basis of the Buddha's language;

Arhats and Buddhas are Hinayana fruits, and Buddhas are Mahayana fruits (some schools believe that there is no difference between Buddhas and arhats);

The practice of renunciation is Hinayana practice, and the practice of renunciation and bodhichitta is Mahayana. (Some views suggest that Hinayana practitioners are only willing to save themselves rather than others, but this view is unreasonable, because if you have selfish attachment, you can't achieve results, and it's not in order, because in Hinayana there is a practice of compassion, and the Venerable Upa Juta is a shravaka practitioner who also transforms countless sentient beings.) ）

It is the Hinayana view that admits that there is no self and does not admit that there is no self in the Dharma, and it is the Mahayana view that acknowledges the selflessness of the Buddha and also acknowledges the selflessness of the Dharma.

The difference in the position and realm of fruit:

Hinayana – The highest attainment is an arhat.

Mahayana: The highest attainment is the Buddha.

On the realm: Hinayana : There is more than nirvana.

Mahayana: Nirvana.

In practice: Hinayana for self-liberation.

Mahayana: Self-discipline.

Worship Hinayana : There is only one Buddha Mahayana: all Buddhas, all bodhisattvas.

Doctrinally Hinayana: Mahayana is not a Buddha Mahayana: Hinayana cannot become a Buddha.

The emergence of schools of Buddhism began with differing views on the precepts.

Hinayana self-degree.

Mahayana: Self-discipline.

Hinayana has no taboos, such as Japanese monks: marry a wife and eat meat ......and do everything

Answer: Chinese Buddhism practices Mahayana Buddhism, Han mainly practices Sutra, and Tibet mainly practices Tantra.

Those who truly practice Buddhism seek both self-liberation and the universality of sentient beings. Self-liberation is self-realization, cultivation of wisdom; Pudu sentient beings are enlightened and cultivated. When he realizes that he is complete and his wisdom and merit are sufficient, he becomes a Buddha.

Self-degree is renunciation; He is compassionate. As soon as they enter the WTO, when something happens, they complement each other and are harmonious. The combination of these two kinds of mind is bodhichitta and bodhicitta is also the mind of Buddhahood.

Southern Buddhism is not Hinayana either, and there is also a bodhisattva path in Southern Buddhism, but it is based on realisation first, and then enlightenment. For example, if someone falls into the water, if they don't know how to swim and save lives, how can they save the person who falls into the water? The Mahayana Buddhism is carried out at the same time as the self-crossing and other undertakings, and the manifest religion advocates that "the three cultivate blessings and wisdom, and the hundred eons are good."

Having become a Buddha, Zen Tantra emphasizes becoming a Buddha immediately. **Explanations from other senior brothers.

More than 95% are Mahayana Buddhism.
