The Robe and the Sword: Sonia Feleiro

This book is well worth reading, as it tries to grapple with the questions as to why Buddhism has turned to violence, and whether the religion has lost its values.

Feleiro gives insights into Sri Lanka, Myonmar, and Thailand.

One of the culprits was the British Empire, another the perceived threat of Islam.

In a world, a far cry from Western Mindfulness and Wellbeing, Buddhism fights for survival.
