Hola, I'm doing a report on Buddhism and my books don't tell me where Mahayana Buddhists mainly live. all they say is that they are in East Asia, and it lists a bunch of countries for Theravada. Also i checked wiki and that gave absolutely zero info. Does anyone know? The part of the report is due tomorrow, so i need a bit of help! And if you could list a source where you got the info that would be fabulous.
Greetings,
For the most part, the Thervadans are considered the "Southern schools" with the Mahayana Buddhists are the "Northern schools." Countries that mainly practice Mahayana include some parts of India, Tibet, Bhutan, and some parts of Nepal. Zen Buddhism is a form of Mahayana, so some parts of China, Korea, and Japan also practice forms of Mahayana Buddhism.
For the most parts, countries in the south such as Burma, Thailand, etc., practice Theravada Buddhism.
I hope this helped. Take care.
