Yeah its about blaming others for ones own unwillingness to face facts.

It is not necessary to make doctrinal positions about being a Buddhist. Buddhism is about seeing and understanding the natural laws that we all live by; the way things are and this isn't bound by cultural limitations and different approaches/ vehicles or conventions ( Theravada, Mahayana, TB etc ). Whatever term is used it is best seen as functional and used to describe rather than a position to take, something to attach to and become. Didactical posts on a discussion forum which purpote to have the one true understanding go against all that I know -the freedom to receive in our hearts that which resonates can be the final decider of what is useful and the onus is on each of us to practice in ways which will allow ourselves to be changed, to expand and grow - so blaming others doesn't get a look in - lol.
