I've looked into Buddhism generally and come to the conclusion that, while it provides about as useful a framework for living well as Stoicism, it's a more complete religious system than I'm interested in. I don't want to treat Buddhism like a buffet and then call myself a Buddhist. Stoic physics, for a contrasting example, are taken literally by no one and can be safely left out of the daily practice of Stoicism (though pneuma and logos are often useful as metaphors).
