The Buddhist monk Pol Pot would like a word. Buddhism practised in the west vs. Southeast Asia are very different.
I asked a Buddhist man the method he used to kill dogs for meat. ‘You have to make them angry and scared, then you get their strength.’ So, torture them first. The usual method was drowning, after torture. That is a common sentiment.
I was just talking about this a few days ago with an old friend, we both worked there together years ago. His description was that Buddhists in general were slightly less Buddhist than the Pope.
There are devout Buddhists of course, just like there are devout Christians, or whatever. Who may be decent people, being devout is certainly no guarantee.
The majority of religious people are hypocritical fucks who take what they want to reinforce their worldview, oppress others, and leave the rest as irrelevant. Include Buddhists in that group, they don’t get a pass because of what Buddha said (and they don’t follow) anymore than Christians or anyone else.
Someone doesn’t like our comments. Have we kicked a hornet’s nest? lol.
I’ve only been able to see Buddhism practiced in the west. I couldn’t have imagined how horrible it can be practiced elsewhere.
In all fairness, what they do with animals is opposed to Buddhist doctrine.
Then again a lot of what (fundamentalist) Christians do is opposed to Christian doctrine.
The common denominator seems to be: horrible people doing horrible things in the name of $placeholder.
