Like all other world religion you may find a lot of sectors with that religion, due to different cultures, different perceptions/interpretations of the original truths. Likewise Buddhism has different schools of thoughts, mainly Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana. Buddhism originated in India, spread over the world (initially to the East), integrated with the culture of the Asian countries.
