Buddhists attack Christians in Nepal and other Himalayan countries, as well. This is the first incident I’ve heard of in Sri Lanka, though. Maybe there’s a break in the Tamil vs. Singhalese conflict, giving the Singhalese (the natives of Ceylon) time on their hands. Tamils are Hindu.

We had some priests from Sri Lanka in Oklahoma; they’d come for 2- or 3-year missions. Well-educated gentlemen, and very devout.

Thanks for your information.
I read and read and over time forget half of it, but wasn’t it Buddhist carvings that the Taliban destroyed in Afghanistan?

Interesting information, T-c. I have never heard of Buddhist violence.
