I know there's quite a few differences in the Buddhist schools... in layman's terms (because the vocab is still so new to me and I don't understand some of it), how do I know which school is best for me? If Theravada is best for me, but I attend a meditation class at a Vajrayana center, is it going to confuse me greatly? There's so much information online, lol, I need a basic "written for a child" breakdown.
