Satori, I get the impression that you focus on Buddhism mostly because you seem to know a lot more about that religion than you do about Greek philosophy. It's true that Cynicism never became an important philosophical school (such as, for examle, Stoicism), but it's still well-known throughout the Western civilisation, and it was probably as important to Cynic (the band) as Buddhism. I haven't heard the band's music or read their lyrics, but the quotes that you state is good examples of "pure Buddhism" could also be Cynic statements, if interpreted differently.
