I wished to ask a question.... As I am not sure if I understand or not, but it seems if I understand, then, buddhist misunderstand, if you know what I mean....
On Gautama's death bed he said: "Seek salvation alone in truth; look not for assistance to anyone besides yourself." So it is the individual mind set and personal development is what turns on the lightbulb of enlightenment, so why do some call it "following the way of Buddha." And abiding by his rules and teachings?
Then again I guess if you follow his last words, you're following assitance from another.... Can't win :O
