Hobbies can be constructive and meditative. Thích Nhất Hạnh enjoyed meditatively drawing calligraphy based art.

Buddhism is like Linux: you need the core and the rest is optional. There in no one "proper" form of Buddhism just like there's not one "proper" distro of Linux.

@Brian Beeler, totally agree. It's easy to talk with Buddhists from one tradition or another who feel differently, though.
