After the Buddha 's death at the age of 80 , Buddhism eventually split into two main lines , those who strictly followed his teachings , the Theravada or Hinayana school of Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia , and those who allowed new interpretations , the Mahayana Buddhists of China , Japan , Korea , Tibet , India , and Nepal .
The ones that follow the teachings of Buddha in the name of traditions are more that those who interpret things differently .
