"Theravada, Mehayana and Varayana"
It has to be corrected as...
Theravada, Mehayana and Vajrayana.
Actually Vajrayana much like a sub denomination under Mahayana.
"visiting and investigating various religious practices"
It is true that the Siddhartha Gauthama went to many teachers and learnt many paths. But finally he dropped all the other paths and found his own "Middle Path"; That was unique among the other religions of that time.
