Buddhism and Violence in Sri Lanka


My pal Ben, who works on Sri Lanka, has written a nice piece on Buddhism as a religion of war. You can read it here.

And for more info about early modern European views of Buddhism as a nihilistic worldview, you can read Nietzsche or Roger-pol Droit's The Cult of Nothingness: The Philosophers and the Buddha.
