Question
Hello.
I am calling from Greece and I would like to know which are the different points of view in Buddhism e.g Vazrayana, etc, and which are the differences between them.
Thank you very much for your time

Answer
Dear Sofi,
Please note that I speak for Advayavada Buddhism only.
If you want to know more about this form of Buddhism, please visit
www.advayavada.nl.
As for your question, there is Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.
Theravada is Southern Buddhism. Mahayana is Eastern Buddhism and the main schools are Zen and Pure Land. Vajrayana is Tibetan Buddhism and has four main schools.
For more details see the different schools on the internet, including
