Most of the rites and rituals I've been involved with myself have had nothing to do with my practice other than give me a temporary state of euphoria and the mistaken notion that it was somehow benefiting me (having been told that beforehand)

Sure Aloka, and the video at # 5 gives us an excellent approach about that "need" for rituals. After a while, as told by the second Bhikkhu in the video, the real thing about them becomes quite evident. Nothing more than a added stuff of secondary importance.
