Celtic Buddhism

http://www.celticbuddhism.org/

This sounds like the sort of Buddhism I could espouse. They encourage everyone to develop a daily meditation practice. But overall the religion is so "unstructured" that other Buddhist groups are concerned. And the Celts are known for their paganism.

Traditional Buddhists may complain about unstructured aspects of Celtic Buddhism.

I, too, find that problematic. You can't just do any old damn thing you want and call yourself a "Buddhist." Buddhism doesn't work that way.

Buddhism has always had to adapt to the culture it has been brought into, what do you expect in the West,
Don't forget Christianity has done exactly the same thing, it adapted the paganism traditions alongside Christian, so who makes a point about that? It takes time.
