I'm really interested in learning more about Mahayana Bhuddism.
Speaking on Buddha, I think there are two types amyaksambuddhas and pratyekabuddhas. One achieves enlightenment and can teach, the other just achieves enlightenment. So you're probably right on the title. Or that's my small understanding of it anyway.

So if you're into Mahayana, why not Theravada?
