This is totally wrong. All the facilities, images of Buddha and Bodhisattvas and any offerings made are teaching tools designed to inspire our mind and wisdom. They also serve to remind us of the importance of being enlightened instead of deluded, virtuous instead of deviated, pure instead of polluted. These are the three principles of Buddhist teaching and practice. As such, all paths are equal without one being superior to the other.
People have different abilities and levels of accomplishment.
Furthermore, they are from different environments and should choose a path most suited to themselves. We can choose any one of the three goals to concentrate our practice on. When we achieve any one of them, the other two will come naturally. Zen stresses the pursuit of the perfect clear mind or enlightenment. The Pure Land and Tibetan Buddhism or Vajrayana school stress obtaining the pure mind.
