no no, they are lamaists. this is a special kind of Vajrayana which contains elements of the pre-buddhist bon- or b�n-religion :-?
however, buddhism ain't a religion (!) in that sense as there is no "god" as "maximum leader" known

Hmmm. I believe, yes, Buddhism is a religion. It's just not a Judeo-Christian white light religion that is so often associated with the definition of religion as we understand it - but Buddhism still has its dogma, customs, traditions and its communities all sharing smiliar or same mindsets.
