Both branches of Buddhism agree on the basic teachings of the Buddha. However, the Mahayana believes that the Buddha had an additional body of teachings.

More specifically, Theravada Buddhism teaches that the best way to help both others and oneself is to attain enlightenment and the end of rebirth. The Mahayana believes that it is better to continue to be reborn in order to lead others to enlightenment.
