why do people think Buddhism is more peaceful than other religions?

[arcticwolf]

I studied Buddhism in my history class. don't try and pull the superior card. xoxo

You studied Buddhism in your history class, and you think you know it better than someone who has practiced and studied it for years? LOL No offense, but if you think that your sketchy at best outline knowledge makes you a viable candidate to spout expert opinions, you are fooling yourself!

hun, look at the tittle and tell me I want to discuss budhhism...
I really don't care about the Buddhist ways of life.

I care about non-Buddhists and why they think your lot is more peaceful.

Ok pumpkin, I'll answer your question in a very straight forward manner.

There was never a war in the name of the Buddha, it just can't be, you can't use his teachings to justify violence in any way.


Now hon, here is the gist of it. Do you know what 3 Universal Characteristics of all existence are?

If you knew and understood their true meaning you would not ask this silly question.

Nothing could be further from the truth. States where Buddhism is the dominant tradition have engaged in many wars and other conflicts over the past 15 centuries. And Buddhist monks have a long tradition of supporting kings and warlords in their conflicts.

to make it short: change, suffrage and selflessness.

Yo're on my Ignore list from now. because you're being completely off-topic and not contributing to the discussion.
I already told you that this thread is not about Buddhism but the way non-Buddhists perceive Buddhism.

need a kiss to make it all better?

[arcticwolf]

need a kiss to make it all better?

Kiss is a good start, but I doubt a single kiss will take all the pain away. Are you willing to do what it takes to sooth my soul?

I'll pray for you my son. and hope GOD will forgive you for your heresy.

Cupcake, I believe in no God, there ain't no such entity. Praying is begging and bargaining with an imaginary character.

have you already forgotten, I face reality, and only real is important to me!

You need a better plan if you desire to lessen my burden!
