Somehow I think the Buddha of the Pali Canon might have been very surprised if he had seen some of the 'Buddhist' rites and rituals which are performed today. This is how he described those with insight:

I guess he might have ... my response to your idea, Aloka-D, is that I doubt that he would harbour such thoughts though.
Also, the relevant point that has been made already about some of the rites and rituals involved in practice for some of us are that they are not indulged in nor meaningless whilst also not being the practice ( I do understand that this can easily be misunderstood ).
