My experience with Buddhists in Việt Nam is that they are eminently practical people. They are not blinded by religious tenets of cultural assumptions. In VN they were able to see how capitalism works among the Catholics and changed their way of relating to others to emulate Christians. They turned into astute businessmen, too. They are pacifist until they ascertain that it is going to get them killed off. Then they pick up guns.
