What is the difference between thervada buddhism and mahayana beliefs?
The primary doctrinal belief that separates them is the Mahayana idea of Sunyata. Sunyata tells us that, essentially, nothing exists; a piece of paper is the tree that it came from, not a piece of paper; the tree is not a tree but the sun, the soil and the rain etc. Another major difference is the Theravada idea of Arhats and the Mahayana idea of Bodhisattva: Arhats being men who have achieved nirvana and will go on to achieve parinirvana; Bodhisattva are men or women who have reached enlightenment but upon death maintain their consciousness in Samsara until all other sentient beings have also reached nirvana. Other things that separate Mahayana from Theravada: different precepts for monastics, a different Vinaya, Female Monastics (can be monks or nuns, nuns 'died' out in Theravada), Skillful speech (lying is okay for the right reasons) and different interpretation of the precepts: some Mahayana believe it is okay to like eat meat if they didn't kill it.
