Answer 1

Answer:

The relationship between Buddhism and violence includes acts of violence and aggression committed by Buddhists with religious, political, or socio-cultural motivations, as well as self-inflicted violence by ascetics or for religious purposes.[1] Buddhism is generally seen as among the religious traditions least associated with violence.[2] However, in the history of Buddhism, there have been acts of violence directed, promoted, or inspired by Buddhists.[3] As far as Buddha's teachings and scriptures are concerned, Buddhism forbids violence for resolving conflicts.[4] Despite this, contemporary violence, or the promotion of violence, has been on the rise in Buddhist communities, especially against Muslims.

the Buddha describes the process whereby a society slides into a state of absolute anarchy and violence, reaching the point where all respect for the preciousness of human life is lost and humans kill each other without guilt or remorse
