Yes, in Buddhism, we teach that you don’t have to be a Buddhist at all to be a good buddhist. I think that is exactly what is meant by “good buddhist” because all we have to do is look at ourselves from the perspective of a Buddhist teacher and understand that we are all Buddhas. We also have to do our own work and practice. All of us have to do our own work and practice our own practice to be good. If we don’t understand each other’s work, we don’t know each other’s work. So the first step is understanding that we are all Buddhas.
No matter what your teacher said, I found this one to be very helpful. All I can recommend is to practice your own work and practice your own practice. As you do so, you will grow and develop. It is an easy journey, sometimes it feels like an uphill one. My two cents.
