Theravada
Literally "the way of the elders." The predominant form of Buddhism in Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka, the Theravada also claims to be the oldest and original form of the Buddha’s teaching. It focuses on the central Buddhist teachings of the Four Noble Truths (essentially the fact of suffering and the cessation of suffering through enlightenment) and the Eightfold Noble Path of spiritual development. Because it emphasizes personal rather than collective enlightenment, it is sometimes pejoratively referred to as the Hinayana ("Lesser Vehicle").
