List down atleast two similarities between Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism

Both accept Shakyamuni Buddha as the Teacher.

The Four Noble Truths are exactly the same in both schools.

The Eightfold Path is exactly the same in both schools.

The Paticca-samuppada or the Dependent Origination is the same in both schools.

Hope this helps out.
