I think the Western myth that Buddhists are somehow all peaceful people who wouldn't hurt anything is debunked by events in Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Yes, you can say "well, the Buddhists who attack minorities aren't True Buddhists", but that's the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.
- curun1r 8y agoJust because not all Buddhists live up to it doesn't make it not a Buddhist practice nor a "no true scotsman" fallacy. The fact that it's part of Buddhist teachings and many Buddhists do live it does make what I said correct.
