or can a Buddhism expert answer these questions?
1. Who was Buddha? How did he help others? Are there supposedly pros and cons of his religion? (I would like different opinions )
2. What actions do people that believe in Buddhism do? What do they believe?
3. How many different types of this religion are there? (Like Zen Buddhism… )
Can someone please help me understand this? (I am a teen.) I would like to understand what this religion does, and how it all started. Can u guys also recommend me some books or websites to research this?

Is There A Book On (zen-)buddhism That Deals With The Notion “the Rhythm Divine”?

in Zen, you will find very little rituals & symbolism, and in Tibetan Buddhism you may be overwhelmed by it, at the core of the practice are the same ideas, just different methods.
Vajrayana (often associated with tibetan buddhism), the thunderbolt vehicle is the Buddhist system that incorporating tantric methods. It means that exercises, practices and rituals are handed down directly from teacher to student by word of mouth, though often with the aid of teaching materials in the form of pamphlets and pictures. http://www.khandro.net/symbolism%20_toc.… <<< symbolism in tibetan buddhism
the rhythm divine isn't a zen idea.
