Answer:
Theravada and Mahayana show that the beliefs of society regarding salvation are different where one emphasizes on hardship and the other puts emphasize on simply practicing faith.
Explanation:
- Theravada Buddhism specifies for each of its followers the practices that one needs to follow based on who he or she is.
- The ways to follow Theravada is different for monks and nuns than that for lay people. These ways are strict and often turn into hardship.
- On the other hand, the Mahayana division of Buddhism preaches that to attain salvation, merely having faith and following the six virtues of Bodhisattva's is enough.
