Mahayana Buddhism is Antithetical to True Deliverance (Uppamado Amata Padan).
In my opinion, Mahayana Buddhism is the degeneration of Original Buddhist Concepts due to regional cultural practices.
Mahayana has added many regional philosophical contents into Buddhist practice outside the main realm.
It is actually the Hindu mysticism that has degenerated the Original Buddhist Concepts.
That is the very reason for it's degeneration.
Anything that prolong Samara or the recurring Birth Cycle is antithetical to Buddhist Thinking.
Theravada has one path
1. Ekayana Maggo.
It is Satara Sathipattana
Its goal is
2. Uppamado Amata Padan.
Strive hard with diligence on the path of deliverance.
One is truly one's own protector and the saviour.
Do not delay the goal i.e; the emancipation.
One might not get another chance of becoming a human being for very very long time.
Human life is Extremely Rare (Read Dhammapda).
Mahavansa willfully delay emancipation by aspiring to become a Bodhisattva.
It is trying to take to many paths instead of the single path what Buddha prescribed.
Mostly rituals, reciting stanzas and asceticism, instead of meditation or concentration on the path of deliverance.
One common thread should be Meditation.
They are willfully meditating to delay the emancipation or escape from Rebirth Cycle.
It is an antithesis to Uppamado Amata Padan.
Strive Hard as, if there is no second chance is the True Wayfarer's Goal.
The Bodhisattva Problem
Both “Nikāya purism” and “Mahāyāna elitism”neglect the path of deliverance.
“Mahāyāna Elitism” neglects the fact that in his historical manifestation, so far as we can determine through the early records of his teachings, the Buddha did not teach the bodhisattva path.
This path emerges only in documents that start to appear at least a century after his passing.
What the Buddha consistently taught, according to the early records, is the attainment of nirvāna by reaching arahantship.
