II: Essay Writing: Compare and Contrast the Mahayana with the so-called Himalayan (Caravansary). How are the views of the Buddha, bodhisattva, arts, the path of practice, the nature of the world, the nature of nirvana, lay practitioners, and scriptures, and so forth, in these two systems different? I am going to compare and contrast these two different terms.
Before doing the comparison I will try to define these terms according to our textbook. According to the textbook Mahayana is refer to has the ‘great vehicle’, it is used by the proponents of sutras that began to appear some four centuries after the death of the Buddha and which were regarded by them as the word of the Buddha. In the other hand the Himalayan is referred to have the ‘low vehicle’, it is used by proponents of the Mahayana to describe those who do not accept the Mahayana sutras as authentic words of the Buddha.
This two kind of believe in the Buddhism religion are quite different from each other. They got lots of different from one another. This are some of the evidences that they are different from one another is about the view of the Buddha, in Himalayan it is unique and superman and also one Buddha per world cycle and on the other hand in the Mahayana there are many Buddha and the Buddha appear to save everyone. The Buddha has a vast store of merit that manifest as a Pure Land.
They also have different view on Art which in Himalayan , it is believe the human are awakened, view of the Bodhisattva in the Himalayan are superior human and only on at a time while in the Mahayana the Bodhisattva is a superior being who have made a vow, also embodies contradictions and cultivate compassion. They are also have different believe in the path of the practice. In Himalayan they believe that eight -fold path, three teachings which are meditation, morality and wisdom while in Mahayana it believe in the six perfection of the Bodhisattva which are giving or open-handedness morality, patience, will power, trance and wisdom.
They also view the Karma differently because in Himalayan the Karma causes the way things work and on the other hand Mahayana believe that Karma is the vows and the transfer of merit are ore powerful than Karma. These two view the world oppositely because Himalayan view it as real, but temporary based of senses while in contrasting the Mahayana view as illusory or false and exist in some fashion. The Mahayana also views the world as empty of self-nature.
They view the Nirvana separately because in Himalayan they believe in Nirvana with remainder, the Nirvana with remainder in death and static Nirvana while in Mahayana they believe in non-static Nirvana. They are also different in regarding the view of who practice Buddhism because in Himalayan inks, nuns and some lay people but rarely on the other hand in Mahayana everyone and also everyone can attain salvation.
In the Himalayan they don’t recognize Mahayana and they also claim that the scripture are false, teachings are wrong and the path is misguided. In Mahayana they accept the teachings of gammas but subordinate them, they believe that it is the final teaching of the Buddha. There are no similarities that I can come up with except they are both Buddhism believe. In concluding I believe that by being in this class it really help to motivate me more to kook into more the Buddhism teaching.
All the above mentioned ideas were from the class and I strongly believe that this class really helps us know more about the Buddhism religions.
