I was struggling to formulate a criticism of Buddhism yesterday, and ended up botching it a bit. Now I know:
The fundamental truth of suffering is a core tenet, towards which I'm a bit leery. I'm leery not of the idea itself - I agree that it's sound - but of how it's handled.

The backdrop for my own practice is so eclectic, it hardly bears scrutiny. I've never practiced anything *properly*, preferring instead to steal.
I use Finno-Ugric myth, Hindu philosophy and Buddhist technique for my own purposes, plus whatever else comes along.

Resultantly, I'm never quite sure how to interface with people. My personal system is such a messy cobweb of associations, it could only work for me.
I'm not planning to be any sort of guru, so at most I will only pass along technique and individual ideas when I want to.

Well, yeah. Every broken system has critics as old as the system itself.
