Many people believe there is only one path and if you are not on their one path then they want to kill you or worse. It is better to avoid people like that.
Because actually there are 49,000 correct paths or more to enlightenment like I was told by Tibetan Lamas I studied with starting about 1980. I don't doubt the sincerity of anyone on any of the 49,000 paths to enlightenment. However, each person must find their own path. After all, God said, "Judge not, lest ye be judged" which is a way of saying, "Mind your own business!" and let people get on with their lives.
Every person has to find a path that works for them. If they don't they will die. It is very simple. So, you see people trying anything you can imagine trying to find a path that works for them. Some succeed and some die along the way.
To my way of thinking on some levels it is very simple. It is all in the end about self acceptance. You cannot accept the universe without accepting yourself first. If you accept yourself then you can accept the whole infinite universe. You cannot have one without the other. However, having accepted both yourself and the universe you then (if you maintain this) become enlightened. This is my experience of all this). You could call this one of the 49,000 paths but I see it as useful possibly to all 49,000 paths. This is my experience.
