About Mahayana

Mahayana, one of the major branches of Buddhism, emphasizes the path of the Bodhisattva—seeking enlightenment not only for oneself but for all sentient beings. It introduces the concept of the Bodhisattva ideal, compassion, and the potential for universal Buddhahood. Mahayana scriptures, such as the Lotus Sutra and Heart Sutra, play a crucial role. This tradition fosters a more expansive, inclusive understanding of the Buddha's teachings, inspiring diverse practices and schools aimed at universal liberation.
