| | Hinayana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hinayana is used as a name to refer variously (to one or more of doctrines, traditions, practitioners or thoughts that are) generally concerned with the achievement of Nirvana as a Sravaka-Buddha or a Pratyeka-Buddha, as opposed to the achievement of liberation as a Samyaksam-Buddha. | | | It is primarily the interpretation of Hinayana as a tradition that has led to the most concern, especially as many people have seen the term as a slur against the schools of Nikaya Buddhism–schools that solely follow the sutras given by Buddha that admonish the practitioner to achieve Sravaka-Buddhahood. | | | Hinayana sects developed in India and had an existence independent from the form of Buddhism existing in Sri Lanka. |

| | Hinayana remains the form in Ceylon, Burma, and Siam, hence is known as Southern Buddhism in contrast with Northern Buddhism or Mahayana, the form chiefly prevalent from Nepal to Japan. | | | Another rough division is that of Pali and Sanskrit, Pali being the general literary language of the surviving form of Hinayana, Sanskrit of Mahayana. | | | According to Mahayana teaching its own aim is universal Buddhahood, which means the utmost development of wisdom and the perfect transformation of all the living in the future state; it declares that Hinayana,aiming at arhatship and pratyeka-buddhahood, seeks the destruction of body and mind and extinction in nirvana. |

| | However the term is still in current use to describe the early Buddhist schools, especially in Tibetan Buddhist circles because they inherited texts and teachings from all of the 'yanas' and simply adopted the terminolgy of the Mahayana Sutras. | | | None of the schools designated as 'Hinayana' survive today, but the Theravada School of Sri Lanka, Burma, and Thailand is descended from the Sthavirvadin School. | | | Mahayana texts frequently contain polemics against formalism and disputed doctrines which are directed at monks from the schools which subsequently became known as hinayana. |

| | Mahayana Buddhism |
| | The differencesbetween Hinayana Buddhism(Tieu Thua Phat Giao)and Mahayana Buddhism is such that: | | | Hinayana has to create nirvana while Mahayana sees all beings as holding liberation from very begining but not aware of its existence. | | | The Buddha is regarded as a human teacher who had gained enlightenment, a transcendental being who had once been mortal. |

| | Hinayana is nearer to the original teaching of the Buddha. | | | It is a school of Buddhism, popular in Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, hence also known as Southern Buddhism, in contrast with Northern Buddhism or Mahayana, the form mainly prevalent from Nepal to Japan. | | | Another difference is that Pali is the general literary language in Hinayana while Sanskrit of Mahayana. |

| | Hinayana Curriculum |
| | Hinayana studies are the foundation for Buddhist learning. | | | Furthermore, our studies look at the core principles of Buddhist ethics and society, and the relations of the Hinayana to the other teachings of Buddhism which are studied in the 300 and 400 level curriculum. | | | Buddhism is not simply a religion but a science of mind. |

| | Philosophically, it was claimed that the Hinayana notion of Buddhist practice reified samsara and nirvana. | | | The goal of Hinayana practice is to reach the stage of an arhat, one who has rid oneself of the defilements of ignorance (avidya), attachment (raga), and aversion (dvesha) with the aid of a teacher. | | | “Buddhism, Schools of: Hinayana Buddhism&; in Eliade, Mircea (editor). |

| | The Theravada tradition or the Hinayana, the only surviving School of that tradition is sometimes called the Southern School of Buddhism, and the Mahayana is sometimes called Northern School of Buddhism. | | | The form of Buddhism which flourished under King Ashoka was Hinayana, and this from spread to Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. | | | By the time of King Ashoka, the Great, there were eighteen or twenty different schools and many subschools arising out of the Mahayana and Hinayana Traditions. |

| | Hinayana Teachings The Hinayana teachings are also known as the "Inferior Vehicle," referring to the fact that the vehicle to be ridden is small and inferior. | | | Opposition between Hinayana and Mahayana After Shakyamuni's death, his disciples were at variance as to how the Buddhist teachings should be taught and transmitted, and split into two schools, the conservative Theraveda school and the progressive Mahasamghika school. | | | Unlike the Hinayana teachings, which aim only for personal enlightenment and salvation, the Mahayana teachings aim for the salvation and Buddhist practice of the masses of people. |

| | The Three Vehicles: Hinayana, Mahayana and Tantrayana |
| | Due to the negative connotation of the term Hinayana, the World Fellowship of Buddhists decided that the term Hinayana should be dropped to refer to Buddhism existing today, and the term Theravada should be applied, also because the term Hinayana has a negative connotation. | | | In India, non-Mahayana or Hinayana sects developed independent from the form of Buddhism existing in Sri Lanka. | | | Within the various vehicles, much variation can still exist, which is further explained in the pages that deal with the traditions, like Zen and Tibetan Buddhism. |

| | The Theravada, the Tradition of the Elders, is the venerable ancient school of Buddhism, dating to the time of Sakyamuni Buddha. | | | While I have been very outspoken concerning the word hinayana as inappropriate, offensive term describing the Theravada, the word hinayana is part of the tradition of Buddhism in general, Mahayana in particular, and for that reason I would never say, never use the word, just be very careful in how you do use it. |

| | Buddhism Subgroups |
| | The decision was made at this council meeting that Buddhism would thereafter be a monastic religion in which enlightenment would be impossible to attain outside of the Order. | | | In contrast to the Hinayana ideal of the arhat, followers of the Mahayana tradition strive to become bodhisattvas, "the one who possesses the innate tendency to become a buddha, a disposition inherent in all persons" | | | This decision led to turmoil and a break within Buddhism, from which Hinayana and Mahayana Buddhism (also sometimes referred to as Northern, Sanskrit or Indian Buddhism) arose |

| | The practice of the Hinayana concentration leads one to go beyond them, for the result of such practice is the ninth stage (Arhatship), not merely the eighth (the realm of neither-perception-nor-nonperception, the highest arupa-dhyana). | | | The former desired by means of these restraints (severe ascetic practises were not permitted by the Buddha) to decrease and help check desires, while the latter do not even know that their sorrows originate in desire, let alone have the thought of checking it. | | | Why Hinayana Meditations must be practised first rather than beginning with the Mahayana |

| | The actual practice of meditation within the Hinayana is a little bit different from the understanding of the truths themselves. | | | Without the Hinayana teachings there would be no way for practitioners to enter the dharma because they would not have had a way to enter the Buddhist path. | | | Of the three Buddhist vehicles (yana) of practice, the first is the Hinayana. |

| | Hinayana Buddhism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Hinayana Buddhism is an expression that may refer to Theravada Buddhism (mainly because it is the only surviving Buddhist school that does not claim to be part of the Mahayana tradiction) or, more properly, to Hinayana practice and motivation. | | | For instance, census figures about Hinayana Buddhists are almost guaranteed to actually count Theravadins. | | | Hinayana is, by definition, something to be avoided, and most certainly not a word that Theravadins use to refer to themselves. |

| | About Buddhism - History of Buddhism |
| | In the Hinayana teachings Buddha explains how to attain liberation from suffering for oneself alone, and in the Mahayana teachings he explains how to attain full enlightenment, or Buddhahood, for the sake of others. | | | These teachings which include the Sutra of the Four Noble Truths and other discourses, are the principal source of the Hinayana, or Lesser Vehicle, of Buddhism. | | | Later, Buddha taught the second and third Wheels of Dharma, which include the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras and the Sutra Discriminating the Intention respectively. |

| | I don't think any type of Hinayana survives outside of Theravada, so in the present day, it's better to use "Theravada" instead of "Hinayana" to refer to the extant Buddhisms found principally in countries like Thailand and Sri Lanka. | | | In Buddhism 101, you learn that there are (at least) two principal strands of Buddhism, Mahayana (Greater Vehicle/Big Raft) and Hinayana (Lesser Vehicle/Little Raft). | | | Korean Buddhists, almost all of whom are Mahayana adherents, still use the classic terms dae-seung and so-seung to refer to Mahayana and Hinayana. |

| | In general, the Hinayana and the Mahayana are not distinguished according to any difference in their wisdom of emptiness, but must be distinguished due to differences in their methods, as mentioned above. | | | The Buddha's Dharma, can be divided to two vehicles, the Hinayana and the Mahayana. | | | The doctrines of the Mahayana do not merely illuminate the selflessness of phenomena, they teach the bodhisattva stages, the perfections, the prayer to achieve perfect enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings, great compassion, and so forth. |

| | Philosophy Relation Hinayana Mahayana |
| | The bodhisattva is a 'being' that refuses to remain (some would say 'enter') in Nirvana because of its vow to help others; the bodhisattva chooses to remain in the world of suffering and rejects Complete and Final Nirvana (in the sense as stated before). | | | A great number of these doctrinal points are found in the oldest layers of the Pali-Canon and cannot be taken to be later interpolations. | | | But also in the personal, intimate approach of the Dharma, the bodhisattva - on whatever level he is situated - is an important element. |

| | In this set of teachings, the Buddha taught the beginning of the spiritual path, based on the four noble truths: the importance of acknowledging our suffering; recognizing ego as the source of suffering; the possibility of attaining cessation of suffering; and the path that leads us there. | | | Hinayana practice involves renouncing our continual search for pleasure, which only causes us and others pain, and engaging instead in disciplined meditation to study our state of mind and our world, in order to attain individual liberation. |
