Re-release: Violent Buddhism

With so much violence going on in the world right now, we thought it would be a good time to re-release an episode about how religions of all kind, even Buddhism, can lead to violence. And how in any situation, it's probably not a good idea. Today we ask, is Buddhism, the religion on peace and love? Or... the religion of genocide? We look at why people are shocked at stories of violent Buddhism, and discuss peace in the middle east while we’re at it.     https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/05/opinion/buddhists-violence-tolerance.html
