Explanation:

There are significant differences between the two main movements of present-day Buddhism, Mahayana and Theravada. Among them, some are particularly important for understanding how these mutually exclusive divisions contrast with each other. Before dealing with these specific dissimilarities, however, it should be clarified that the main and fundamental divergence between the two groups, from which one can conclude that all others derive, is that the Mahayana practice emphasizes an inclusiveness that presents itself as the antithesis of Theravada doctrinal preservation. While the adaptability of the Mahayana has drawn new practitioners and altered itself to conform to modernity, Theravada shows a firm resistance to change that allows it to remain as a faithful container of the original thought of Buddha, questioned but still preserved before two millennia of transformation.
