Theravada
Theravada, sthaviravada, ; literally, "the Teaching of the Elders" or "the Ancient Teaching," is the oldest surviving Buddhist school. It was founded in India. It is relatively conservative, and generally closer to early Buddhism than the other existing Buddhist traditions. For many centuries, it has been the predominant religion of Sri Lanka (now about 70% of the population) and most of continental Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand). Theravada is also practiced by minorities in parts of southwest China (mainly by the Shan and Tai ethnic groups), Vietnam (by the Khmer Krom), Bangladesh (by the ethnic groups of Baruas, Chakma, Magh, and Tanchangya), Malaysia and Indonesia, while recently gaining popularity in Singapore and the Western world. Today, Theravada Buddhists, otherwise known as Theravadins, number over 100 million worldwide, during the past few decades Theravada Buddhism has begun to take root in the West and in the Buddhist revival in India.

Der Theravada ist heute vor allem in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Kambodscha, Laos und teilweise auch in Vietnam und der VRChina (in Yunnan) verbreitet. Vom Mahayana wird er zum Hinayana gezählt.
