'''''Mahayana'''''. 'Greater vehicle.' When using the term 'greater and lesser vehicles,' Mahayana and [[Hinayana]], Mahayana includes the tantric vehicles while [[Hinayana]] is comprised of the teachings for [[Sravakas]] and [[Pratyekabuddhas]]. The connotation of 'greater' or 'lesser' refers to the scope of aspiration, the methods applied and the depth of insight. Central to Mahayana practice is the [[Bodhisattva]] vow to liberate all sentient beings through [[means and knowledge]], [[Compassion]] and [[Insight]] into [[Emptiness]]. Mahayana's two divisions are known as [[Mind-Only]] and [[Middle Way]]. The sevenfold greatness of Mahayana mentioned in [[Maitreya]]'s Ornament of the Sutras are explained by Jamgön Kongtrül in his All-encompassing Knowledge: "The greatness of focus on the immense collection of Mahayana teachings, the greatness of the means of accomplishing the welfare of both self and others, the greatness of [[wisdom]] which realizes the twofold egolessness, the greatness of diligent endeavor for three incalculable aeons, the greatness of skillful means such as not abandoning samsaric existence and enacting the seven unvirtuous actions of body and speech without disturbing emotions, the greatness of true accomplishment of the [[Ten Strengths]], the [[Fourfold Fearlessness]], and the unique qualities of the awakened ones, and the greatness of activity which is spontaneous and unceasing."  See ([[theg pa chen po]])  [RY]
