deep asked:
to the best of my knowledge they do not advovate the murder of any living creature. They did not torture people with an inquisition. they have never had any terrorist organisations.
they creatinly have never blown anybody up, hijacked planes or any other such behaviour. Do you agree or am I wrong. if so explain why!

Yes no doubt 100% sure!
Its the most tolerent and tolerable.
I’m not buddhist but if I had to choose a religion to waste my time with I would definitley choose buddhism.
A bit idealistic.
Peace can only exist until you are attacked…then you either fight back or are made extinct.
Maybe if Buddhists did fight back we wouldn’t have a free Tibet movement?

They have a violent history as well.
Well… not the only one, no. Most Eastern religions are comparable.
However, Buddhism has its dark side, too. Firstly, I don’t think encouraging billions of starving people to let go of desire is the wisest course of action.
The ten countries with the highest percentage of Buddhists -

The top ten countries with the largest Buddhist populations -
China

Myanmar
Sri Lanka
South Korea
Taiwan
Cambodia
India
You can hardly call the histories of most of these countries peaceful.
I thought that Japan has a lot of Buddhists?
Didn’t they participate in a war or something?
Well just by searching ‘buddhists in the military’ seems that they go to war to.
I thought that JW’s refuse to participate in any war, or to work in any capacity that will support a war, whether it is through the making of bullets, to the building of part for planes or weapons. No matter what. Does not that make them more peaceful than those who will join the military?
Compared to some others maybe, but they’re hardly the only peaceful religion out there. And you’re wrong: they DO have some dark chapters in their history.
Buddhism is a very peaceful religion because it preaches non-violence, and tolerance (and acceptance to a large degree) of other religions
However it has seen conflicts in the past. One example is the Sri Lankan civil war.
not the only one.
