No, Mahayana does not trace its origin back to Abraham. Mahayana Buddhism originated in India around the 1st century CE, while Abraham is a figure in the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The two traditions are separate and distinct in terms of their teachings, beliefs, and historical development.
