theg pa chen po;greater vehicle;greater vehicle;mahāyāna;The mahāyāna schools appeared in literary form several hundred years after the Buddha's death, although traditionally the transmission lineage goes back to Śākyamuni himself, who is said to have first presented mahāyāna teachings on Vulture Peak mountain near Rājagṛha to a celestial assembly. Going beyond the somewhat nihilistic emptiness of the hīnayāna schools and the preoccupation with individual liberation, the greater vehicle presents greater vision based on śūnyatā, compassion, and the acknowledgment of universal buddha nature. It introduced the ideal of the bodhisattva, who lives in the world to deliver sentient beings, while dwelling neither in the struggle of saṃsāra nor in a quietistic nirvāṇa. Socially, the mahāyāna expanded the buddhadharma beyond the monastic communities to the lay population. +
