Don't worry about the Christian vs. Buddhist.  St, Patrick didn't really
exist any way.  Just was made up after a night, or several nights, of
drinking various alcoholic beverages, by a bunch as sheepherders as a joke.

Wouldn't you know it some people took it seriously, HK and BenT mostly, and
now we have a green tradition.

So celebrate as you wish and it will probably become part of the tradition.
