It is the second most peaceful religion in the World (after Jainism takes it to far) and I am tired of you people saying it is not.
There has never been a Buddhist holy war there is almost no Buddhist inspired violence despite a few corrupt murderers in Burma and Sri Lanka but even they aren't real Buddhists as I real explain.
To be a Buddhist you can not intentionally take another living beings life (unless it is done to put a sick animal out of it's misery or in turn to save lives) and is motivated by compassion.
The 5 precepts of Buddhism that all abide by is to Refrain from Taking life and it is one of the 12 refuge vows to not harm another being, if you break these you can not call yourself a Buddhist as it is refuge which makes you a Buddhist.
Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace." - Buddha
All tremble at force, of death are all afraid. Likening others to oneself kill not nor cause to kill-Dhammapada verse 129
Whoever harms with force those desiring happiness, as seeker after happiness one gains no future joy.Whoever doesn’t harms with force those desiring happiness, as seeker after happiness one gains future joy.-Dhammapada 131-132
Buddhism also teaches to view all beings as you would your own Mother and is one of the only faiths to have compassion as a fundamental and core belief.

@sinii did you even read any of what I said?
The whole thread was a reply to that and was meant to prove that the people doing that in Myanmar can not call themselves real Buddhists.

| Basically meaning - those people in Myanmar are extremists and they do not represent the religion as a whole but, their own twisted belief's. |

| Buddhists in Myanmar killed sixty million. And so you're saying the Islamic terrorists can call themselves Muslims? This is hypocrisy to no end..... |

@sinii have you seen what they have been doing in the rest of the world? Many practitioners especially monks help people in Earthquakes, cyclones, create hospitals and work in a soup kitchen.
The whole motivation of Buddhism, particularly Mahayana Buddhism is strong compassion and anyone who does not have that intention has no right to affiliate with Buddhism.

| If I remember correctly the only time a Muslim is suppose to engage in war [and/or violence] is if it's a holy war [I may be wrong here as I don't follow the religion] so no they can't. |

@sinii the Buddhists in Myanmar did not kill 60 million people when there is only 60 million in the whole of Burma.

| According to Muslims, Islam is about peace. So those Muslim terrorists aren't true Muslims? Think about it. |

@sinii answer the point I made, how can the Burmese Buddhists of killed 60 million when there only has ever been 60 million people in Burma.
You either have been misinformed or your making that up randomly.

@thepitt of course it does, that's the whole point of it.
Buddhism is a peaceful religion it was based upon peace and has helped spread peace.
and also notice how @sinii has gone all quiet now I have dropped the fact that 60 million people couldn't of been killed in Burma when there only ever has been 60 million, it looks like some one has been caught bending the truth.

CommanderRoblock told me that. Oh, so typical of him to lie just to defend his religion!!!!!!!
But anyway, why do you think Buddhist terrorists aren't true Buddhists, but Islamic terrorists are true Muslims? |

@sinii Because Buddhism's core is more peaceful than Islam's.
Let's just compare there founders:
The Buddha >Dedicated half of his life to teaching what he had learnt in order to help them >Never hurt anybody >Never Commanded an army >Taught to help other people >Taught Compassion and Loving-Kindness >Taught never to harbour anger or hatred towards overs
M0h@mm3d >Killed an old woman >Lived for years as a bandit >Commanded an army >Started wars >Was s3x1st >Despised men of different races >Married Children

| But Islam tells you suiсide is wrong, and you can't hurt or kill others in most cases (terrorism not allowed). So any Islamic terrorist is not following their religion correctly, right? |

@sinii OK perhaps they are not, but that still doesn't change that Buddhism's teachings are much more peace orientated than Islam's.

Dude... Source please? Muhammed was tortured and abused when he came out with his religion and had to flee to Madinah where he commanded an army to protect the early Muslim. Never idd he start a battle. He believed all men were equal, was not s3x1st and did not Marry children as I've clarified before.
