I think your being a little too harsh on Buddhism
Everyone of all religions are looking for the same thing : bliss and happiness even if the person is doing it in the wrong ways
Do you know what those words bliss and happiness Pertain to ? The word is Blessedness. A lot of people don't know that.
And our Original Blessedness which comes from God even before we ventured into this world is that innate divine happiness and bliss we once had. Original sin on the other hand is trying finding happiness in the wrong places (Adam and eve had it all within but chose to go without) becoming attached to those things that only bring temporary happiness- whether it is addictive thinking, addictive substances, addictive pleasure, addictive behavior etc. That is what it means to be a sinner,- an addict, attachment. And the Buddhist and Catholics teach non attachment. That is why all those blessings in church and blessing by priests and blessings of prayer are mindful reminders of your own soul-joy within, and that ever new true happiness inside is what brings us closer to divine communion.
The Buddhists can be more Christian than actual Christians sometimes are
