Is Buddhism a religion for lazy people?

[Ignatius]

I'm actually an atheist as far as religion is concerned. I am interested in certain Buddhist texts, and I'm particularly interested in the idea of Zen. What I find objectionable is the self satisfied nature of most people who claim to be Buddhists. I state again, that one cannot be a Buddhist. The ideas behind Buddhism state that one is always in the state of becoming, never being anything. Nothing I've read here convinces me otherwise. Neither intellectually, nor spiritually. I do as much meditating as any Buddhist just by drifting off over the morning paper. I don't mean for it to happen, but it does. We've all done it, drifted off and found ourselves in that strange land between being and knowing. You come out of a reverie and struggle to remember where you were just then. That's real enlightenment, you can never know. The greatest knowledge is knowing that you know nothing.

Yes, 'Buddhism' seems to be the latest trend among yuppies and other 'disenfranchised' young people...

Problem is, most people (americans) don't even understand the basic precepts of Buddhism...as they are often foreign to Western principles.
