RE: The Early Schools of Indian Buddhism Series
Even in Buddhism there is disagreements and arguments. I would never had known. For many of us we think of it as such a forever peaceful religion. Thanks @reddust.
@enjoywithtroy, were there are a group of people, even enlightened ones, there are going to be disagreements. Buddhism and its institutions are not exempt, but Buddhism as teaching can't be used by governments to control people like many other religions. Buddhist teachings are about individual freedom. If you don't believe in what Buddha taught you won't go to hell, you not evil, you are not sinner, an infidel, a pagan and no one is going to kill you for being an unbeliever. Kings had a hard time using the teachings to enforce their rule through force...hahaha
