Saya mencoba mencari dengan Google "unorthodox Buddhism" dan hanya menemukan 11 situs saja. Kutipan-kutipan di bawah ini menunjukkan bahwa kata 'unorthodox Buddhism' digunakan untuk praktik Buddhism di kalangan rakyat jelata yang sudah bercampur dengan unsur-unsur non-Buddhis, biasanya dalam arti yang negatif, seperti penggunaan jimat-jimat dsb.
Oleh karena itu, sebaiknya jangan digunakan istilah 'unorthodox Buddhism' untuk mengacu pada suatu bentuk ajaran yang tersistematisasikan.

Perhaps it is the concatenation of religions--unorthodox Buddhism mixed with Hinduism, mixed with darkest superstition--but in Nepal there are demons and other strange gods. The place is literally jumping with devils; you can feel it."
