One can be Buddhist AND Mormon, or pretty much anything else for that matter. Likewise, a very good argument could be made that Joseph Smith was a mystic, and that mysticism played a role in the founding of the church. Just saying.

Ya, if you have the opportunity or chance, many journals of the early saints clearly show they were a big mixture of things including apostles. It was a bit of a shock to me some years ago but as I re-read them, decidedly less so, like a nice surprise.
It wasn’t apparently an issue at the time because it’s jotted down very casually as a non dogmatic passing thoughts. That clearly show deep thought into it. It makes me smile because it’s not even orthodox or heterodox thoughts per say but a mixture of various denominations with sometimes a mixture of your own personal spin on them as well.
