A teaching is Buddhism if it covers three concepts, anicca, anatta and nibbana. All commonly accepted schools in Buddhism all have these 3 concepts as the core. They differ only in the matters of specific Practices, focuses and implications of these concepts.

If you do your best to understand and experience these 3 concepts, that's really all you need to be on the right Path.
The benefit of being a bhikkhus might be that it gives you more time to think about these 3 concepts. Maybe.

What are known as The Three Characteristics (or seals) of Buddhism, are in fact anicca, (impermanence) dukkha(dissatisfaction, suffering) and anatta (not self)
