Question

CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 1, 2 and 3. All of the above statements qualify as the features of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana and Hinayana are two main tranches of Buddhism. Mahayana believes that The Buddha is a God because they think that the Buddha came down to earth to help people cross the sea of life and hence started worshipping him. It included practices like deification of Buddha, threading paths of Buddha and image worships. Whereas Hinayana’s considered Buddha as a human being who achieved nirvana and never worshipped him.
