Yah, but what horse puckey! The Muslims in the mountains of Pakistan do not follow non-violence, nor do the muslim terrorists in India. Or the Hindu terrorists. Indians have far more political and religious violence than we do in the USA.
True, India has a lot more religious violence than the U.S. Just need to keep in context the size of the population (1.2 billion)and the fact that the world’s second largest population of Muslims live there. Considering that Muslim invaders and rulers are supposed to have killed millions of Hindus, the violence is both understandable and limited. Hinduism is a non proselytizing religion and doesn’t claim to be the only true religion.
In any case, I find the Dalai Lama’s views to be admirable. We could all do a lot better if more religious leaders voiced the same sentiment regardless of whether every single adherent of that religion follows it or not.
