As i inderstand buddhas teachings learn to go through yourself. Recent form of boudhism do worship buddha. When i went to thailand that was surely a difference i experienced.
If you take Buddhism as a direction for the work on yourself, using it purely as sign posts on your path, then you have a chance. Anything that promotes regular meditation as the main practice ought to be good... Just dont mistake the finger for the moon and get entangled in the labels, as so many people seem to do.. Remaining fluid and observant of yourself is paramount.
