Bundokji, it is not a new-found philosophy that, by not examining the dualistic quality of our experiences, we find some "beautiful peace". My own mother lives this way. To me, this is similar to a man with an aching wound, accepting the pain of the wound and living with it rather than treating the wound. Accepting it is better than fretting about it. He believes this realization is a "beautiful peace", non-dualistic and natural.
However, this is not Buddhism. Buddhism is for those who identify suffering as suffering and want to be free from it. Identifying this suffering does not cause the suffering. Suffering was already there to be identified. However, one person choses to just accept it as natural and the other tries to remedy it. These are two different schools of thought which contradict. No matter how many pages and paragraphs you write here, they will always be just that - a contradiction. So I suggest that you stay on whatever shore you find beautiful.
