Everything about Shravakayana totally explained
Śrāvakayāna is one of the three
yānas known to
Mahāyāna Buddhism. It translates literally as the "vehicle of hearers [for exampledisciples]". The term is used by some
Mahayana Buddhists to describe one hypothetical path to enlightenment. Śrāvakayāna is the path that meets the goals of a
Śrāvakabuddha – an individual who achieves liberation as a result of listening to the teachings (or lineage) of a Bodhisattva Buddha. Śrāvakabuddhas are not able to be the first in their age to turn the wheel of
Dharma.
Śrāvakayāna is also sometimes used as a euphemism for "Hīnayāna" (the "lesser vehicle") in reference to certain early schools of Buddhism, however the latter term most often was used to include both Śrāvakayāna and
Pratyekayāna, in order to distinguish them from the
Mahāyāna.
