My only (very minor) disagreement with the thesis is that, IMO, Stoicism and Buddhism are not quite the same thing or equivalent, and the difference is relevant to your point. I think that you should take Stoicism slightly more seriously than Buddhism (but still not too seriously). (But I think that your “bumper sticker” advice is basically correct.)
This really is a very minor quibble, though. On the whole, this post is simply correct, period.
Excellent post.
