A common debate among people in modern times, especially among westerners, is that Buddhism is not a religion but a philosophy or way of life. This of course, is something people are divided on and really depends on various technicalities in how one defines religion. However should you wish to follow Buddhist tradition simply say the mantra 3 times before adorning the Emblem.
