And in actuality, those who are following exoteric Christianity are not usually working the inner tradition that Jesus entrusted to only a chosen few. They are following the dogma and doctrine of a corrupt power system.
Actually, the Buddist's philiosophy has a lot of merit. The chanting part seems kind of silly though. Oh, let's not forget, praying to a pot-bellied idol isn't skyling either.
