Michael, I'm glad you're back on track. That's good news. I just want to warn you that it's probably not a good idea to say blanket statements about what people X believe on psycho-babble.
I think the general theme is to try and treat people like individuals here. I think it's a good piece of advice for life in general, but very difficult in practice. For instance, your love says that she's buddhist, but there are many aspects to buddhist belief and practice. Many different cultures are "buddhist" and many people adopt some things from buddhism and other things from other faiths, philosophies or systems of ethics.
How about getting to know your love a little better. Find out how passionate she is about this buddhism thing, if you're curious. Find out whether she has come to it because she's had problems like you have with the predominant religion of her upbringing? It might be something you have in common. A way to get an interesting conversation started? You seem to have a lot of very interesting, well-developed ideas, and I think you'd be really intriguing to a woman who likes to think about big ideas too.
until then- big dreams are nice too :)
