In Southern Buddhism, 90% of the content belongs to Hinayana. 10% belongs to Mahayana. There is no secret trip.
In Han Buddhism, 80% of the content belongs to Mahayana. 10% belongs to Hinayana. The content of 10% belongs to secret multiplication.
70% of Tibetan Buddhism belongs to Mahayana. 30% of the content belongs to the secret ride. Hinayana has little content.
The so-called "different" is mainly because the percentage is different.
The layman's view is similar to: primary school. You can go to heaven.
The content of Hinayana is similar to: middle school. Can be nirvana.
The content of Mahayana is similar to: University. Can become a Buddha.
The content of secret multiplication is similar to: graduate students. Buddha can be generated immediately.
If you compare the contents of each layer, you will find many contradictions.
If the content of each layer is regarded as a "three-dimensional structure". Then you will find that there is no contradiction.
What is the root of all beings and what method to practice. So as to achieve: universal life.
The phenomenon of "comparison" is more serious today. Therefore:
External Taoism denies Buddhism, Hinayana denies Mahayana, and Mahayana denies esoteric Mahayana.
In short, the younger generation always denies the advanced.
If we look at the "three-dimensional structure", then all the contradictions will be solved.
Some people say: is there any basis for your division? Is it your imagination?
A: This is really not my division of labor.
There is a theory in Buddhism called "the theory of ten minds".
Buddhism is divided into 10. Put the pagans in, too.
Li Bingnan, a famous Buddhist sage, divided Buddhism into seven grades. Put the pagans in, too.
My four levels are a brief statement.
I only took out four aspects. I won't elaborate on the rest.
