You can be a "Buddhist" without being a faith-follower or a dhamma-follower, i.e. without being on the path to stream-entry. Committing oneself to certain teachers, interpretations and practices can be enough to "miss the bus" (not to mention a lack of necessary commitment).mikenz66 wrote:Well it's certainly a much lower bar than the more usual interpretations of not being a puthujjana. Basically anyone with any clue (so anyone here) is on the path to stream entry by this logic.
