Mahayana

Mahayana Buddhism is a religion in Victoria II.

Whereas earlier Theravada Buddhism focused on personal enlightenment as an arhat, Mahayana (or "Great Vehicle") Buddhists seek enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient life. Instead of requiring strict monastic living, Mahayana is more open to laypeople, offering them an alternative, faith-based form of devotion.

Mahayana is largely found northeast of the Indian subcontinent.
