Thank you @dinissemata, I have attended several Buddhist Pureland teachings. Pureland is in Mahayana teachings and in Tibetan Vajrayana teachings. The articles I am writing are about the beginning of Buddhism, early Buddhism and Theravada teachings. There are some differences between Theravada and Mahayana/Vajrayana

If I assumed there were some differences, I started reading the link you sent me. Thanks for everything @reddust. Happy afternoon! I hope to continue reading more about the bidismo and seeing more of your art that is wonderful♥
