Gerald is progressing amazingly... what a wonderful scene... :D your English is so good now~ getting better and better. :D ※ 引述《GeraldLiu (wolver)》之銘言： : You probably remember last time I was mentioned two terms about Buddhism that : Mahayana and Hinayana, and said that both of them has been called Two : Vehicles. But now, I am not so sure it is turly correct or not, according to : the book, the Two Vehicles seems are Sravaka and Pratyekabuddha. : You may ask," What are the meaning of Sravaka and Pratyekabuddha?" : Unfortunately, I don't know, the only one thing I knew about them is, the two : words are not English, but Sanskrit. : I cannot look them up from dictionary. : Anyway, this time, I still want trying that use my own way to explain what is : different between Mahayana and Hinayana. : In Buddhism's realm, there have two types of practitioners called Arhat and : Bodhisattva, Both of them are the students of Buddha. : The Arhat who learned the Buddha's teaching, got enlightenment and then, went : to the Pure Land. They went to Buddha's Land through Hinayana; and : Bodhisattva who did the same thing like Arhat did. But when Bodhisattva : already went to the Pure Land, they have see so many people live in the world : with suffering and illness, in this case, the Bodhisattva just came back the : world from Pure Land, try to saving people from great suffering... : Because of this kind of merciful behavior, we say that Bodhisattva head to : Pure Land through Mahayana. : I had heard that the Buddhist monks who live in China and Taiwan practicing : Mahayana, and in India, practing Hinayana, On the other hand, the Buddhist in : southeast Asia become Bodhiasttvas in the future, and the Indian monks could : only become Arhat. : Perhaps some people do not understand what are the meaning of Arhat and : Bodhisattva? Because their didn't read any English books about Buhhism, and I : have not explain it, after all. : Because my foundation of English is not good enough, here I could just use : Chinese to annotate the meaning of them. Arhat is 阿羅漢 and Bodhisattva 菩薩. --
