Detailed Solution

The given statement is False.
After the death of Gautam Buddha, Buddhism had two sects the Mahayana, or the greater vehicle, and the Hinayana, or the lesser vehicle. This split happened at a Buddhist council held by Kushan ruler Kanishka in 72 A.D. He also helped spread Mahayana Buddhism in China. The Mahayana believed in the divinity of Buddha and idol worship, while the Hinayana did not believe in the divinity of Buddha and rejected idol worship. The Mahayana used Sanskrit to propagate ideas and sermons of Mahayana Buddhism and believed to attain nirvana or salvation, they had to follow Buddha and the bodhisattvas, who were people following the path of lord buddha, unlike the Hinayana who believed in self-discipline and meditation will lead to salvation.
The correct statement is Mahayana Buddhism used Sanskrit as a language and believed in bodhisattva.
