Explanation:
Theravada Buddhism emphasises attaining self-liberation through one's own efforts. Meditation and concentration are vital elements of the way to enlightenment. The ideal road is to dedicate oneself to full-time monastic life. A follower is expected to abstain from all kinds of evil, to accumulate all that is good and to purify their mind.
