I would like to believe that but that’s not my experience or that of people I meet at Pagan/Shaman gatherings and retreats. But I’m not a Buddhist though have visited monks and a Buddhist nun. Each to there own path Borza. But after reading half a dozen or books or so on Buddhism I realised there were a lot of rules, traditions and male dominated hierarchy which felt more like main stream religion. I prefer the guides and signposts my path gives me. The simplicity of worshipping Mother Earth and nature being my church resounds with me. Namaste.
