Mahayana

Mahayana is the doctrine of the Great Vehicle, the form of Buddhism that evolved in India during the course of the centuries following the passing of the Buddha. It was to spread and take root in China, Korea, Vietnam, Tibet, Mongolia and the kingdoms of the Himalayas. Of central importance in Mahayana Buddhism is the bodhisattva ideal, the intention to attain enlightenment for all sentient beings.
