I am assuming that what you are asking is how does Buddhism today compare to what the Buddha taught. Buddhism over the years has been enriched by each culture that has been exposed to; changing the nature of practice just slightly each time. So Chan Buddhism (China) is slightly different in practice then is Zen Buddhism (Japan, Korea). But the teachings have always remained the same. Now when I speak of practice, it is the methods used to teach the Dharma (the teachings). The biggest change in Buddhism since the Buddha is the development of Mahayana Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism, which added teachings from later Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to The Buddha's original teachings in regards to living a compassionate life to help all other beings. So Buddhism adapts the methods but never the message or teachings.
Popular Buddhism and the original Buddhist teachings are compared in the way of instituting its main precept, which is the quest for an end to suffering and enlightenment.
But the way in which popular Buddhism and the original Tibetan Buddhist teachings are taught is different in that original Buddhism is taught to monks who have a more advanced understanding of the doctrine and are taught from the highest stage called Dzogchen, also known like the direct path, or Zen.
Popular Buddhism, on the other hand, was created so that it could meet the needs of a nation and those who did not have much knowledge about Buddhism, so popular Buddhism is one that adapts to local culture and tries to transform it through simple concepts that fulfill the purpose of avoiding suffering.
The purpose therefore of popular Buddhism and original Buddhism taught to monks is to provide people with the kind of knowledge and teaching that they are prepared to comfortably receive and which creates a sense of well-being and enlightenment.
