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?

Yes, it was. The Taliban considered the Buddha carvings to be idols.

The tenets of Buddhism do call for nonviolence, as do the tenets of Hinduism, pretty much. However, adherents of a faith often don’t live up to what they profess.
