The Origin of Mahayana Buddhism

In the three or four centuries following Ashoka a surprising change came over Indian Buddhism, but though the facts are clear it is hard to connect them with dates and persons.

But the change was clearly posterior to Ashoka for though his edicts show a spirit of wide charity it is not crystallized in the form of certain doctrines which subsequently became prominent.The first of these holds up as the moral ideal not personal perfection or individual salvation but the happiness of all living creatures.

The Different Types of Buddhism

Just like there are many different denominations of Christianity – including Protestant churches and Catholicism, the different types of Buddhism reflect the way that this religion is practiced.Buddhism is a dharmic religion and form of spirituality that revolves around certain beliefs and practices – all of which are aimed at bringing the participant closer to Buddhahood – the highest level of spiritual awareness. However, because the religion has gained followers in several different parts of the world (mostly in Asia), the way that Buddhism is practiced has split into several different sects.

All of the Buddhist sects believe certain things in common: all accept Buddha as their teacher, use the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path in their teachings, and believe that Buddhahood is the highest attainment.Most scholars divide the different types of Buddhism into three sections.

The Different Sects of Buddhism

We have a record of Indian thought for about 3000 years. It has directly affected such distant points as Balkh, Java and Japan and it is still living and active. But life and action mean change and such wide extension in time and space implies variety. We talk of converting foreign countries but the religion which is transplanted also undergoes conversion or else it cannot enter new brains and hearts. Buddhism in Ceylon and Japan, Christianity in Scotland and Russia are not the same, although professing to reverence the same teachers.

It is easy to argue the other way, but it can only be done by setting aside as non-essential differences of great practical importance.Westerners are ready enough to admit that Buddhism is changeable and easily corrupted but it is not singular in that respect. I doubt if Lhasa and Tantrism are further from the teaching of the Buddha than the Papacy, the Inquisition, and the religion of the German Emperor, from the teaching of Christ.

Buddhism is Not a Religion Based on Miracles

The elaboration of marvelous episodes is regarded in India as a legitimate form of literary art, no more blamable than dramatization, and in sacred writings it flourishes unchecked. In Hinduism, as in Buddhism, there is not wanting a feeling that the soul is weary of the crowd of deities who demand sacrifices and promise happiness, and on the serener heights of philosophy gods have little place. Still most forms of Hinduism cannot like Buddhism be detached from the gods, and no extravagance is too improbable to be included in the legends about them.

The extravagance is the more startling because their exploits form part of quasi-historical narratives. R?ma and Krishna seem to be idealized and deified portraits of ancient heroes, who came to be regarded as incarnations of the Almighty. This is understood by Indians to mean not that the Almighty submitted consistently to human limitations, but that he, though incarnate, exercised whenever it pleased him and often most capriciously his full divine force. With this idea before them and no historical scruples to restrain them, Indian writers tell how Krishna held up a mountain on his finger, Indian readers accept the statement, and crowds of pilgrims visit the scene of the exploit.The later Buddhist writings are perhaps not less extravagant than the Puranas, but the Pitakas are relatively sober, though not quite consistent in their account of the Buddha’s attitude to the miraculous.
