three traditional Buddhist yanas:


Hinayana, in which the individual perfects himself for his own liberation’s sake;

Mahayana, where individual liberation is expanded to include within it the liberation of all sentient beings, this shift being marked by the Bodhisattva vow; and

Vajrayana, which cuts through to the heart of liberation beyond limitation. All three yanas may ultimately culminate in Maha Ati awareness.
