I'm sorry, I didn't answer that! I consider myself Theravada, but I guess calling myself a Buddhist is a little insulting to true Buddhists because I really only follow the moral philosophies.

'Theravada Buddhism-influenced' would be more accurate,although quite a mouthful XD.

Yeah, that's why I usually just say I'm Buddhist! :) But it's awesome that you actually knew about the other kinds of Buddhism! Most people don't even really inquire that far into it.

I kinda learned about it from the disputes it had with other (Indian) philosophical schools as well(that part in particular is my favourite about Buddhism).
