Buddhism is about love, Don Juan's philosophy is about war.
hmm, my knowledge about buddhism is limited,
but when you read for example Gautama Buddha's Four noble truths

No allusion to love anywhere in this text.
My impression is that the original teaching was not primarily about love but "discipline".
