I’ve read several books on Buddhism, have them on my shelves and they tout respect other religions, all life...peaceful. I felt just sick when the Taliban blew up the 2 Buddhas in Bamiyan valley.
I guess I was pretty ignorant, I’m still shocked.
You are well informed on Buddhism then. I, too, was sick when the centuries old carvings were destroyed.
Guess I’m naive, but I’m always shocked when one religion tries to kill another. [ other than the muslims, who always have ]
