I am trying to know the different types so I can know which sect I belong to, or if I am just a little of them all. Please tell me what sects there are and their beliefs. Thanks for the help, my friends.

Have you looked on Buddhanet.net? They all sorts of information about different sects of Buddhism. Also, check out the stickies. They have helpful information as well. I hope that helps.

This should help, at least as a start. After this, I'm definitely all for Buddhanet.

Our sticky on the different sects.

I went there on your recontamination but I could not find information on the sects. I went to the link the commenter below you sent, but it was confusing. What is the sect that believes in what the main page on this guild talks about?

Wikipedia has some good information on the subject. Here you go smile

About your question, The owner of this guild, Byaggha practices Mahayana, if I'm not mistaken. What you're looking for might be in Mahayana. I don't know if that answers you question though. I hope it helps. Let me know if you are still having trouble and I will do my best to help you out. 3nodding

What do you mean by 'the main page of the guild'? Our intro page doesn't say anything specific, really...just a list of sects. Which part are you referring to?

I meant the five minute introduction. I had a slow connection when I made this and it was late so I couldn't find the page well.

The first page of our sticky talks about a number of different sects - Harry Parachute in particular, a few posts in (I think he's the fourth one in that thread), has a rather good summary of several. It's definitely a good start for a 'what do I believe' kind of seeking.

The five minute intro is really non-denominational Buddhism - it's the basics around which all sects are built. They all have that same basis; just different additional teachings or different methodologies of going about things. That's all.
