Let’s talk about the term "Buddhist Extremism":
People casually throw around words like "Buddhist Fundamentalist" or "Buddhist Fanatic" as if they’re self-explanatory & inherently dangerous.
Most of the time it comes from folks who think all religions are automatically evil.

Buddhism And Economic Justice:
The Kutadanta Sutta offers one of the clearest early Buddhist discussions of poverty, public welfare policy, crime, and accountable governance. It presents crime as partly arising from economic deprivation and the desperation it causes.

Did you know Dr. B.R. Ambedkar proposed something remarkably similar to Bitcoin's monetary philosophy back in 1923?
In his book The Problem of the Rupee, Ambedkar argued for an inconvertible rupee with a fixed limit of issue.
His concern? Governments should not have unlimited power to expand the money supply.
Some fascinating parallels:
• 1923: Ambedkar argued for restricting rupee issuance.
• 1923: He advocated closing mints to unrestricted coinage.
• 2009: Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin.
• Bitcoin: A predetermined monetary issuance schedule and a hard cap of 21 million coins.
Ambedkar didn't invent Bitcoin, blockchain or decentralised money.
But decades before Bitcoin, he was asking a question that remains relevant today:
Who should control the creation of money, and who should protect its value?
India's monetary history is far more fascinating than we realise!

Many People are suprised to know that many Buddhist schools believe in the Doctrine that Insentient Things can also have Buddha

As per Tiantai Patriarch Zhanran (711–782 CE) argued in his famous text Jingangpi (The Diamond Scalpel) that dividing

Asmīti Māna — The Concealed 'I am':
Imagine a garment that has been washed thoroughly. Although it is clean, a faint residual fragrance remains.
Similarly, even after abandoning the identification of the five aggregates as self, the underlying feeling of 'I am' can persist.
I, Me, Myself:
What we call a 'being', or an 'individual', or 'I' [self], according to Buddhist philosophy, is only a combination of ever-changing physical and mental forces, which may be divided into five groups or aggregates (pancakkhandha).
- Ven. Walpola Rahula

If Buddhism is based on Anatta Philosophy, how does this make sense!? Can anyone enlighten?
I am a Buddhist. This week, I had the soul removed from the Buddhist altar at my family home, and then had the souls transferred into the Principal Image and the ancestral tablets. This was so I could bring the Principal Image and ancestral tablets with me to Tokyo. To my surprise, I found myself crying when the priest was removing the soul from the altar. It wasn’t out of sadness; I think I cried from a sense of relief, feeling liberated from this house
Hindus have no chill...
Anti-national bodyguard got what he deserved in this country.
A 26-year-old Army jawan, serving as a bodyguard posted at Rashtrapati Bhawan, was shot in the head during a dispute over bursting firecrackers in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat on Diwali night, police said.
Saurabh Tomar had come home to celebrate Diwali with his family, who live in Gopalpur Khadana.

Religious appeasement is the field BJP/RSS has created. BSP has been trying to avoid playing on the Religious pitch & they were kept out of the Politics for nearly a decade now.
Politicians are subservient to the Cultural Hegemony of Hindus, whether the Atheists like it or not.
Akhilesh Yadav's Sanatani outreach is a textbook case of misplaced competitive upper caste pampering.He has yet to articulate a substantive plan for the persistent caste atrocities on Dalits, including the rising rape incidents against Dalit women in BJP ruled Uttar Pradesh.
He takes Dalit votes for granted, alienates them without thinking twice, for whom caste violence in Uttar Pradesh remains a everyday lived reality.
Samajwadi Akhilesh howsoever tries to be sanatani cannot win over upper caste Brahmans, Thakurs, Banias, Kayasthas & Khatris of UP whose loyalty to the BJP rests on identity, not on his sanatan restoration plans.
Akhilesh Yadav's priorities are telling!!

The real Home Minister deal.
The massive seizure of 44,250 live cartridges in Bihar and Haryana has exposed a serious interstate ammunition-smuggling network.
This is not an ordinary criminal case. This is a grave national security concern.
Even more disturbing are reports and photographs allegedly showing individuals implicated in the racket wearing RSS uniforms.
The RSS and BJP owe the nation some answers.
1. WHAT IS THE RSS CONNECTION?
Photographs reportedly show accused individuals in RSS uniforms.
Were these individuals RSS Swayamsevaks?
What positions did they hold in the organisation?
If they were Swayamsevaks, what was their involvement in the ammunition racket?
What was their intent? Who were they working for?
2. WHERE WERE 44,250 LIVE CARTRIDGES HEADED?
This is enough ammunition to facilitate violence on a massive scale.
Who were the intended recipients?
Were these cartridges destined for organised criminal networks, extremist groups or other unlawful activities?
3. HOW DID GOVERNMENT-MANUFACTURED AMMUNITION ENTER THE ILLEGAL MARKET?
Reports indicate that the seized cartridges bore markings associated with the Khadki ammunition factory in Pune.
Who facilitated the diversion of this ammunition?
Which licensed arms dealers and intermediaries were involved?
How long has this network been operating, and how extensive is it?
4. WHY ARE THE BJP AND RSS SILENT?
The BJP never misses an opportunity to lecture the country on nationalism, patriotism and national security.
Yet, when individuals allegedly associated with RSS come under scrutiny in a massive ammunition-smuggling investigation, where is the outrage?
Where is the accountability?
5. THIS IS PRECISELY WHY THE RSS MUST BE REGISTERED!
An organisation cannot claim millions of Swayamsevaks when it suits its interests and conveniently disown individuals when serious criminal allegations emerge.
Registration and proper membership records would strengthen accountability and make organisational associations easier to verify.
The RSS demands accountability from everyone else. Why should it be exempt from the same scrutiny?
@DrMohanBhagwat ji, I would be more than happy to personally facilitate the RSS’s registration and even pay the registration fees myself.

Buddhism is simple really, you have 4 central truths and the 4th is an 8 fold path (with the 1st fold being understanding the 4 truths) and the 1st involves 5 aggregates and the 2nd involves 3 kinds of craving and the 3rd is explained through the 12 links of dependent origination

Dear @crpfindia,
Your faces said it all: you didn't buy the PM's lies.
He called us Naxals.
My challenge stands. Let him debate me on who is anti-national and who is controlled by foreign forces. Any time, any place.
My guarantee: after the debate, the PM won't have the guts to stand in front of a single jawan again.
प्रिय @crpfindia के जवानों,
आपके चेहरों ने सब बता दिया - आपको प्रधानमंत्री के झूठ पर भरोसा नहीं।
उन्होंने हमें नक्सली कहा।
मेरी चुनौती क़ायम है। वो मुझसे बहस करें - देशद्रोही कौन है और विदेशी ताक़तों के इशारे पर कौन चल रहा है। कोई भी समय, किसी भी जगह।
मेरी गारंटी: उस बहस के बाद प्रधानमंत्री में एक भी जवान के सामने खड़े होने की हिम्मत नहीं होगी।
#WATCH | Bastar, Chhattisgarh: Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, "We must remember one thing. Naxalites have been eliminated, but the threat is not yet over. While armed Naxalites have been wiped out from the forests, 'Dimagi Naxals' have taken control of several organisations. Even today, they are inciting people against the country's Constitution and democracy. These 'Dimagi Naxals' have also infiltrated several political parties and different organisations. We must identify them, defeat them and ensure the security of the nation."
