I think now that the Pali and Chinese and Tibetan language Buddhist canons of scriptures have been made available in their entirety in searchable digital formats, it should prove possible to root out a lot more quotes wrongly attributed to Lord Buddha. I'm afraid some of these Buddhists themselves may be responsible, so not all the blame belongs to North American business club keynote motivational speakers! <br /><br />My favorite?

I was reading a neat book about comparative JUST WAR traditions, and discovered that the Buddhists actually do think about JUST WAR. Thank goodness. apparently this helped the Buddhists in Sri Lanka kick the asses of their Muslim minority, and win. Thank goodness!<br /><br />In Defense of Dharma: Just-War Ideology in Buddhist Sri Lanka (Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism) (Paperback)<br /><br />Is one place to start. the book has an extensive bibliography.<br /><br />The tibetans could use a few hundred thousand copies of this text, so they can start to take their land back from the creepy Maoists from Beijing.<br /><br />thank you.Kirby Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952289700191142943noreply@blogger.com
