    What wars have been waged by Buddhists?

    Question #91165. Asked by star_gazer. (Jan 15 08 1:34 PM)


    kali24

    		I imagine many Buddhists have fought in wars, but I cannot find any reference stating that any war was waged in the name of Buddhism.

    " Wherever Buddhism spread, it always spread by persuation and never by force. Kashmir was no exception. Ferguson has observed:

    "No war was ever waged by Buddhists, ... No faith was ever so essentially propagated by persuation as that of Buddha, and though the Buddhists were too frequently persecuted even to destruction, there is no instance on record of any attempt to spread their faith by force in any quarter of globe."
