Abstract

Comparing to other Buddhist sects, MAHAYANA BUDDHISM is of more religious cohesion, and its integration has an important role in its inner cohesion and development to other cultures. Having such qualities as religious tolerance, flexibility and explicable teachings have had outstanding role on its propagation. Some of scholars believe that systematic formulation of Mahayana’s theology is due to philosophical and mystical dissemination of traditional Buddhism (Theravada), having impressed by non-Buddhist religions and cultures, and harmony with aboriginal cultures and religious traditions. HINDUISM’s effects on Buddhism is observable not only in cosmology and Mahayana gods, but also in its rituals and literature. Iranian culture has affected Buddhism mainly on Buddha-ology, soteriology and creation of personal gods of Mahayana (bodhisattva) and it seems that Greek culture has inspired sacred art and iconography. The main purpose of this survey, which has been done through descriptive-analytical method, is identification and explanation of the effects of non-Buddhist cultures on MAHAYANA BUDDHISM’s religious cohesion; and it, based on the presupposition of outstanding religious scholars, refers to some evidence of the influences of Hindu, Iranian, Greek, Christianity and Islamic religious cultures on Mahayana construction as a religious system.
