The core aspect of buddhism is balancing your nervous system, if your white or Japanese. For SE Asians it's offerings. For a mixed bag it's devotion to something, an orphanage, escaping capitalism/society, and mysticism, or cultural Buddhism. For western students it's philosophy or curiosity, for landlords and kings Buddhism is pacification, for anticommunists Buddhism is counter revolution. For many theravadas it's self improvement, for therapists it's source material.

It's hard to say what it is. Can it be all these thing?
