No fear, Universal Compassion and Non-Violence
The Buddha is a major historical figure who promoted the rise of national faith against the superstitious of religions. He emancipated man from the corrupted authority of priest and was the first to show the way to freedom from religious hypocrisy and dictatorship.
Buddhism is a religion that uses reason and no element of fear to coerce anyone in any way to believe it. As the Buddha’s compassion is universal, he sees all creatures great and small from insects to beast as equal ultimately, each with the same rights for happiness like us.
There’s no such thing as a just war in Buddhism. The Buddha taught that “the victor breads hatred and the defeated lives in misery”.
He who announces both victory and defeat is happy and peaceful. Not only did the Buddha teaches non-violence and peace, he was probably the first and only religious teacher who went to the battlefield to prevent the outbreak of a war between two warring states.
