It is true in GURPS. You can start out with Limitations on your Advantages, representing the need for various rituals (Gestures and Incantations, even material compnnents; it's right there in GURPS Powers), then outgrow the need for those with experience points.

I know almost nothing about Buddhism, but it feels right to me in a general way. That's how many mystical abilities ought to work. It's the right shape.
