Himalayanan Buddhism is about the enlightened Buddha descending back to good suffering and the opportunities of individualism and sharing. At this point you may either be a saint of unusual distinction or an angel of common despair. But the eightfold ways of upright behaviour for and from self-knowledge will settle your needs at the MEAN coincidences which constantly frustrate our lives (in the community). Redemption in Buddhism is a philosophy of personal morals and health to be chosen at the Life in perfected continuity... I don't know. I'll have to look into that one myself (mahayanan Buddhism performs a blow out exercise about the hopeless Kharmic condition).
