Setelah Buddha Parinibbana ajaran Buddha mulai pecah dan muncul berbagai aliran dalam agama Buddha. Saat ada dua aliran besar yang dikenal oleh umat Buddha, yaitu Mahayana dan Theravada. Mahayana berkembang dengan berlandaskan Buddha Dhamma tetapi berkembang mengikuti budaya setempat dan Theravada berkembang dengan berlandaskan Buddha Dhamma. Ada dua perbedaan yang mudah dikenali dari kebiasaan aliran tersebut, yaitu aliran Mahayana menekankan pada praktik vegetarian, sedangkan Theravada tidak melaksanakan vegetarian. Aliran Mahayana menjalankan Bodhisatva Sīla dan menganggap bahwa setiap makhluk memiliki benih Kebuddhaan. Dari pandangan inilah maka para praktisi Mahayana tidak mengonsumsi makanan yang berasal dari pembunuhan. Akan tetapi, dalam keyakinan Theravada dijelaskan bahwa setiap manusia yang mencapai kesucian bukan dilihat dari  makanan yang dikonsumsi, tetapi dari usaha dalam menyempurnakan parami. Umat Buddha di Wihara Sasana Subhasita  yang merupakan wihara binaan Sangha Theravada Indonesia banyak yang melaksanakan vegetarian dengan tekun.
