Intresting.

I am aware of the ancient Buddhist warriors during the dynastical periods but as a rule of thumb, Buddhism does not teach violence.

There is however a difference in taking a role of defense rather than offense. Buddhists are not a dominating sect of people.

There is a long, distinguished history of Buddhist warrior-monks.
