      "The 'listener' (sSraavaka, she1ngwe2n 聲聞) seeks only to become himself a saint, giving no thought to the salvation of others (namely, the laity), and the self-enlightened one too treads only his own path. Accordingly, these two modes of being, both considered to represent the pursuit of personal welfare only, were referred to collectively as the Hiinayaana or known alternatively as the 'two vehicles' (yaana-dvaya. e4rshe4ng 二乘).
