When I was pondering the concept of Mahayana Buddhism as meaning "The Great Vehicle", I considered that it may likely promote higher degrees of STO practice then other forms may. As I learned more about it, there seemed to be important emphasis placed on immersing in society in ways that promote healthy relationships. In the interaction with others in such positive ways, a person may be catalyzed to grow faster and to greater capacities then say a renunciate path free of catalyst may be able to offer a person. In other words, going out with friends and having a good time may be a very basic STO practice.
