arhator arahantIn Buddhism, one who has gained insight into the true nature of existence, has achieved nirvana, and will not be reborn. Theravada Buddhism regards becoming an arhat as the goal of spiritual progress. It holds that a seeker must pass through three earlier stages before being reborn in a heaven as an arhat. Mahayana Buddhism criticizes the goal of becoming an arhat as selfish and considers the bodhisattva to be a higher goal because the bodhisattva remains in the cycle of rebirths to work for the good of others. This divergence of opinion is one of the fundamental differences between Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | One could argue that Mahayana Buddhism is an exception to the claim that the goal of all Indic traditions is moksha, or liberation from rebirth; for Mahayana Buddhism values the path of the Bodhisattva, who remains in samsara in order to show the way to nirvana to other beings, over what it regards as the inferior goal of the Arhat, which is personal nirvana, entailing liberation.
