side note:
Buddhism does not teach of “God”?
So why do Buddhists pray?
“Buddhists don’t pray, but they do have
devotional meditation practices which could
be compared to praying. “

The Buddha Mind
and the
Monastery
http://ctbuddhamind.org/

are both Mahayana – even though one
is Chinese and one is Vietnamese.
And I’m supposed
to care about this
because…?
Even though Mahayana Buddhism is the
most common form of Buddhism today, it
has changed some since Buddha’s time.
Oh?
(Okay, maybe it’s
changed a lot.)
Within a couple of hundred years after the
life of the Buddha, there were two
branches of Buddhism:
Theravada Buddhism
and
Mahayana Buddhism.
*yawn*
Mahayana Buddhism is mainly Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese.

Theravada Buddhism:
focused more on the historical Buddha
and
Mahayana Buddhism:
focused more on spiritual life forms
TIME
OUT!
Explain!
Mahayana Buddhists focus a lot on spiritual life forms:
They believe there
have been many
Buddhas. The most
recent, born in India, is
not the first and will not
be the last.
 So at Mahayana Buddhist temples, you
will see paintings and images
representing past Buddhas and future
Buddhas.
 They believe in reincarnation (like all Buddhists). But
they also believe that individuals who have become
pure enough to enter Nirvana can choose to delay –
to remain spiritually on earth to help humans.
 These spirits are called
Bodhisattvas, and they are greatly
loved because they chose to stay
here and help humans.
 So at Mahayana Buddhist
temples, you will see
paintings and images
representing Bodhisattvas.

 You will also see one or two temple “guards” –
ugly dudes whose job is to scare away evil and
keep visitors safe.
