    Mahayana Buddhism is a major branch of Buddhism that focuses on achieving Buddhahood or enlightenment. It differs from Theravada Buddhism in its belief that Buddhahood can be attained by all people, not just monks, through individual effort and the "Greater Vehicle" path. Mahayana Buddhism also emphasizes concepts like Buddha-nature, the idea that all people have the potential to achieve enlightenment, and sunyata, the concept of emptiness or lack of inherent existence of all things.
