Of course it's modern and western, but not less useful. As for classical buddhism, as far as I got into it it's an ok religion, but just as full of myths and dogma as the orthodox christianity I was born in. I much prefer the modern version. Although after a little sorting I suspect I'd be very interested in a lot of old texts by Dogen and such - something that probably isn't true with christianity.
