And whether you look under the rug, is that true in all texts of the religion?

Buddhism, more specifically vajrayana.
I think it’s better understood amongst practitioners that if you don’t walk the path then you’re not really a Buddhist. I know this is true of pretty much all religions but there’s no, what I call, John 3:16 clause. There are many Christian’s who think just believing in Jesus. This may be true in other religions too but I’m from Christianity. Buddhism gave me a different perspective on what it means to believe though. To believe in a teacher is to follow and apply those teachings through every aspect existence. Believe or take refuge in the teaching, not the vehicle that delivered that teaching.
