I'm not into the complete poverty thing or the stoicism. It is a nice and kind religion that teaches compassion- I don't think it requires robes and funny hats to be a Bodhisattva, but maybe it does... I believe rightly or wrongly that you get points for trying. I can meditate by sitting quietly in bed and not thinking about anything for 10 or 15 minutes before sleeping It is very calming and allows you to see the world from arms length. I'm not a Buddhist, but have read a lot, especially the Dalai Lama’s books. Inspiring and thoughtful man who has a lot to say and would benefit many if they only listened to it. Wait, maybe that puts me on the path!
