Hey everyone. I'm interested in learning more about Buddhism. I am mainly interested in the Mahayana school. However, I live in the heart of the Bible Belt of the southern U.S. so there is only one Buddhist center near me and it focuses on the Tibetan school.

Is it acceptable to learn from a certain school so that I can learn the basics even if Tibetan Buddhism may not be for me? Most christian churches are very focused on getting you to follow their path, but I'm assuming Buddhism is different.
