The Buddha opposed the caste-system, where people are categorized by their birth in a certain family. The Buddha opposed the view that people will become 'enlightened' after a certain number of lives. Instead, our actions (karma) determines our future. The Buddha did not support the idea of a creator-God who created the universe.

Is Theravada Buddhism different from Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism?

Theravada is the only remaining school of Hinayana ('small vehicle') Buddhism which only follows the original Pali Canon of Buddhist teachings. These teachings are the closest we have to the actual words of the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. It is mostly practiced in Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand and Laos.Mahayana ('big vehicle') Buddhism comprises several different traditions including Tibetan Buddhism Tibat, Nepal, Bhutan and India), Zen/Ch'an Buddhism (China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam) and Pure Land Buddhism (Japan). It follows both the Pali Canon of teachings and a number of other teachings that have arisen since which may or may not be attributed to the historical Buddha such as The Lotus Sutra, The Perfection of Wisdom Sutras (including The Heart Sutra and The Diamond Sutra), the Lankavatara Sutra and many others.Mahayana Buddhist teachings first arose in India in the first century AD and it is thought that these began in both monastic and lay settings. The main differences are twofold:1. Mahayana Buddhism rests on the idea of the bodhisattva who will not achieve enlightenment until ALL beings are enlightened. This is said to be in contrast to Hinayana/Theravada teachings which emphasise personal liberation.2. Mahayana Buddhism teaches the idea of inherent Buddha nature (tathāgatagarbha in Sanskrit) in which we are fundamentally pure from the beginning. In this it is also often taught that the historical Buddha was already enlightened when he was born and only manifested to teach the dharma (truth) to others.The teachings on sunyata ('emptiness') are also taught far more deeply in Mahayana Buddhism whereas Theravada Buddhism concentrates more on ethical behaviour. In Mahayana Buddhism it is perfectly allowable to break religious rules if the end result is beneficial (the notion of skillful means or upaya).Both Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism do share the same basic beliefs of Buddhism such as the four noble truths and eightfold path set out by the Buddha himself and the aspiration to become free from suffering and help others. Mahayana Buddhism (of which Tibetan Buddhism is a part) currently forms the majority of Buddhist practice in the world although there are still strong areas of Theravadin practice in south Asia.
