Asians is a broad term.
As far as I know The version of Buddhism that is the closest to the original form is
Theravada Buddhism as practiced in Sri Lanka.
Obviously, rituals etc are meaningless in spiritual sense as Buddha said they don't matter in the least.
A lot of what appears as ritual, like chanting, mantras are actually mental tools to help develop conncentration, they are not really rituals but appear to be to the lay men.
Of course things like certain section of Buddhism where sex is practided to achieve enlightenment is way off the teachings of Buddha. Well humans will try to bend anything to their liking.
Theravada is what I know.
