Theravada

Theravada Buddhism is a religion in Victoria II.

One of the earliest surviving branches of Buddhism, Theravada (which translates to "teachings of the elders") uses the Pali Canon as its basis. The scripture holds that life is filled with suffering caused by one's desires and that living things are endlessly reborn after death to suffer more. Believers of Theravada use strict monastic traditions to strive for sudden personal enlightenment, hoping to become an arhat; a perfect, incorruptible being who will no longer experience rebirth.

Theravada is largely found in the Indochinese region.
