Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Mahayana Buddhism, Buddha is believed to be still present in some way after his death. This belief is known as the Buddha-nature doctrine. Bodhisattvas are also revered in Mahayana Buddhism as beings who have achieved enlightenment but choose to remain in the world to help others attain enlightenment. The concept of nirvana is not seen as an extinction of the soul, but as a state of enlightenment in which all suffering is transcended. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it accurately reflects a core belief in Mahayana Buddhism.
