FF...

although as an adherent of nonviolence, I would only call him a freedom fighter in a only figurative sense.

Nonviolence is an important key teaching of Buddhism, but sadly (and certainly not unsurprisingly) nonviolence is not embraced universally by all who call themselves "Buddhists".

I wouldn't mind seeing more threads about Buddhism. The teachings of Buddha are certainly, from what I know of them fine (and I have read several books about the philosophy of the Buddha).

I know that meditation has helped me a lot to find inner peace.

The Universe in an atom by the Dalai Lama is a book that I would highly recommend.

Although the major religions are very different and in some ways mutually exclusive,
there are a lot more parallels between them some people realize.
