(I for one love Buddhism, as I like Hinduism, to state it plainly)
and
when
looking to find those remarkable traits somewhat far-fetched I'd like to present
a kind of

according to a mere subjective perception
of
Buddhism
inherent to it is a less bright dimension
namely
self-imposed suffering until death ensues
aka known as

definitely not
