How are those not embracing the material world? The 5th tenet makes it explicitly materialist.
The leaders aren't sitting around meditating. They're in court, doing material things.
I apologize. When you said embrace the material world I thought you meant some of the form of satanism that is kinda hedonistic. Its an athiest religion so does not recognize an actual metaphysical world and does focus in how to be in the actual material world. I view much of the tenets being about the cognitive/mental part of our existence as opposed to the experiential material. For me buddhism is more about that mental type of existence. So tenent 1 completely overlaps as compassion, loving kindness, is what is being fostered. 2 and 3 and even 4 and 5 are kinda funny as in some ways given buddhism would kind of agree but believes self is a kind of illusion. 6 and 7 I would say fit well with 7 sorta a reflection back on 1.
