Be like the Lotus, that arises from the muddy waters shining unsoiled.

Contrary to what many adherents of the #Theravada reason, the term #hinayana is not just about them, neither is an despective term used to denigrate them. Is a term used to classify the various philosophical views with respect to the study and practice of #buddhism prior to the birth of the #mahayana views and practices.

#Theravada #buddhism only represents a fraction of the #buddhist tradition. It does not contain the complete #hinayana philosophy, therefore is a mistake to reason (as many do) that Hinayana is the same as Thereavada. The main difference between Hinayana and #mahayana is the motivation to do the Buddhist practices. While the first focus mainly on individual self liberation from #samsara the second focus on #bodhichitta meaning service towards the liberation of all sentient beings.
