Buddhist teachings are traditionally passed on from teacher to student. Over the past two and a half millenia, the teachings have come to be varied, based on a variety of factors principally concerning the situations in which the teachings encountered. This has led to a variety of different styles of Buddhism, which are typically referred to as "lineages" as the styles are passed from teacher to student.
