The 3 School of Buddhism

There are three schools of Buddhism that flourish today.
Their principle teachings could be described as follows:
  1. Zen

    Go down to the corner to the bus stop. Have a seat. When a bus comes along with a destination of Enlightenment, get on it.

  2. Tibetan

    Get all your friends together and buy a bus. Paint it gaudy colors and get lots of horns. Drive off together towards Enlightenment.

  3. Theravadan

    Go to the garage. Jump on your old bike. Start pedaling toward Enlightenment.
