gloss-def: The three vehicles of the Buddhist path. Hinayana, the "narrow vehicle," refers to an initial stage of self liberation, with an emphasis on cutting through ego fixation. Mahayana, the "great vehicle," brings realization of emptiness and egolessness of self and others, culminating in the bodhisattva path and the aspiration to liberate all sentient beings. Vajrayana, or "indestructible vehicle," sometimes referred to as "tantra," recognizes wisdom and compassion in the form of the guru, devotion to whom brings enlightenment, the fruition of the Buddhist path.
