Detailed Solution

Theravada Buddhism is popular in Sri Lanka. Along with Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, and Indonesia also started practising a form of Buddhism known as Theravada Buddhism. The simplicity in the teachings of Gautam Buddha and the strive for equality attracted common people’s attention. It is believed that the efforts of Ashoka to spread Dhamma to various parts led to the reach of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. And its modified version is Theravada Buddhism. The ultimate goals of Theravada are ending the kleshas(sufferings) and attaining Nirvana, which may be accomplished by adhering to the Noble Eightfold Path and ending the cycle of suffering and rebirth.
