    Hinayana.

    three main types of Buddhism.
    Are there different types of Buddhists?

    Yes, there are as many types of Buddhists as there are people.

    Vajrayana. Theravada is primarily found in Southeast Asia,
    Mahayana in China, Japan and Korea, and Vajrayana in Tibet and
    the Indian exile of the Dalai Lama.
