By the first century CE, there is evidence of changes in Buddhist ideas and practices. Early Buddhist teaching had given great importance to self-effort in achieving nirvana. Besides the Buddha was regarded as a human being who attained enlightenment and nirvana through his own efforts. However the idea of Savior gradually emerged. It was believed that that he was the one who could ensure salvation. Simultaneously the concept of the Bodhisattva also developed. HIST/SET-H/PB Page 6 The worship of images of Buddha and Bodhisattva became an important part of the tradition. This new way of thinking was called Mahayana literally the greater vehicle . Those who adopted these beliefs described the older tradition as Hinayana or the Lesser Vehicle . 1. How could nirvana be achieved according to early Buddhist teaching?

[1] [2) [2] THE SYSTEM OF VARNAS Q 29 This is Al-Biruni s account of the system of varnas : The highest caste are the Brahmana, of whom the books of the Hindus tell us that they HIST/SET-H/PB Page 7 were created from the head of Brahman. And as the Brahman is only another name for the force called nature, and the head is the highest part of the body, the Brahmana are the choice part of the whole genus. Therefore, the Hindus consider them as the very best of mankind.The next caste are the Kshatriya who were created, as they say, from the shoulders and hand of Brahman.Their degree is not much below that of the Brahmana. After them follow the Vaishya, who were created from the thigh of Brahman. The Sudra who were created from his feet. Between the latter two classes there is no very great distance. Much, however, as these classes differ from each other, they live together in the same towns and villages, mixed together in the same houses and lodgings. 1.
