Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

[Instructor] What I'd like to do in this video is talk about the major schools of Buddhism as it is practiced today.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And it can be broadly divided into Theravada Buddhism which means school of the elder monks and Mahayana Buddhism, which means great vehicle.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Maha for great. So first on the commonalities.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now both of these schools of Buddhist thought or Buddhist tradition believe in this notion of the cycle of birth and rebirth from one life or one reality to the next.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That we call samsara which is also shared with the core of Hindu philosophy.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And this idea that your goal should be to realize that all is thought to escape from the dukkha and eventually obtain nirvana.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now the difference between the two schools of thought in Theravada Buddhism, it is much closer to some of the original practices or teachings that we see with Siddhartha Gautama Buddha.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It is a very personal journey that is all about the individual though meditation perhaps with some help from some teacher recognizing the non-self recognizing that we are all one and eventually either in this life or in future lives achieving nirvana.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now Mahayana Buddhism actually encompasses a very large set of various practices but the general idea is that you might have help as you try to achieve nirvana.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Someone who achieves nirvana is known as an arhat so you could Theravada Buddhism as hey try to go on this personal journey to become an arhat to achieve nirvana.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But in Mahayana Buddhism the pursuit is not necessarily to get to nirvana as quickly as possible.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It's to get close to nirvana but then to help others try to achieve that same state So the real goal is to be a bodhisattva, bodhisattva.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now the word bodhisattva is used in both traditions.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

In Theravada Buddhism, it refers to someone who is trying to become an arhat.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Someone who is on the path to achieving nirvana.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

In Mahayana Buddhism it is someone who has almost achieved nirvana but holds that off in order to help the rest of the sentient reality.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

The rest of sentient beings eventually achieve nirvana and if you aren't one of the bodhisattvas you have that help not only from bodhisattvas but there's a fairly large grouping of celestial beings that are there to help.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That are there to help focus your meditation and your energy.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And what you see here is a depiction that's not atypical from a Mahayana Buddhist shrine.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

In the middle here, you have Amitabha Buddha and a significant chunk of Mahayana Buddhists believe in Amitabha Buddha and you could view him as someone who's revered or is almost a deity-like figure.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And this idea that by visualizing, by focusing, by invoking Amitabha Buddha, that you can get to his pure land of bliss known as Sukhavati.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And so it's this idea of almost a kind of salvation.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That by focusing on Amitabha you get to this pure land of bliss which is a place where it is easier to achieve nirvana from and you can almost view it as something of a heaven.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now what's interesting is Amitabha Buddha isn't exactly the same figure as Siddhartha Gautama Buddha.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

In some traditions Siddhartha Gautama Buddha is a projection of Amitabha into our reality.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And in some Mahayana belief systems there are multiple realities, each with their own Buddha.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And you can be born and reborn into these different realities and the pure land the pure land of bliss the Sukhavati is where you might want to go if you are following if you are practicing this belief in Amitabha Buddha.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So at a very high level Theravada Buddhism is all about this personal journey.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Trying to follow the practice of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha through meditation, through recognizing the four noble truths, by following the middle way getting eventually in this life and in future lives to nirvana becoming an arhat.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Mahayana Buddhism has a more complex pantheon of celestial beings and deities and can be diverse form one part of the world to another.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Eventually the goal is for all sentient beings to achieve nirvana.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But your individual goal can be better described as delaying nirvana, become a bodhisattva and assisting all other sentient beings in achieving that nirvana.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

These are actually the attendant bodhisattvas on the left and the right of Amitabha Buddha.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But you don't have just the help of the bodhisattvas there's also celestial beings things that you can focus on things that you can invoke to eventually help you get you to that nirvana.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now in order to see where it is practiced we have this map right over here.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

First of all, most of Buddhism is practiced in the far east of Asia or southeast Asia.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And you see the various schools of Buddhism.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So in red here, you have the Theravada the school of the elder monks.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

In yellow here, you have Mahayana, the great vehicle.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And in orange, you have Vajrayana.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

A significant chunk of Vajrayana Buddhists are often referred to as Tibetan Buddhists and they're sometimes grouped with the Mahayana it's closer to Mahayana.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

There's this notion of bodhisattvas.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

There are celestial beings.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

There are more rituals.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now in terms of population the country with the largest Buddhist population is China roughly 250 million Buddhists of the 500 million Buddhists that there are in the world.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But despite the fact that there are so many Buddhists in China, it is still only 18% of the entire Chinese population.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

In places like Burma and Thailand you have a much higher percentage of the population that is actually Buddhist and these regions of southeast Asia most of the population is Buddhist.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now one other really interesting thing about this map is we talk about Buddhism starting in northeast India in southern Nepal.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That's where Siddhartha Gautama Buddha lived.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That's where he spread his teachings.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And not only is that where it originated you have Ashoka who really catalyzed the spread of Buddhism and once again that was out of India.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But when you look at this demographic map of where you have significant Buddhist groupings you don't see a lot in India.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You see a lot in Sri Lanka.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And that's actually where the Theravada tradition comes primarily from.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And there's a couple of interesting explanations as to why you don't see it in India.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

One possible explanation is that it was so close to many versions on Hindu practices and we talk about Hinduism being this very diverse and open religion.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And it really just got reabsorbed, reassimilated as part of the diverse Hindu tradition.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

In fact, many Hindus view Buddha as another incarnation of Vishnu.발음듣기
