Has there ever been a war or conflict between two or more Buddhist sects for reasons of faith, like how Christians and Muslims have had infighting.
>>18469415>Has there ever been a war or conflict between two or more Buddhist sects for reasons of faithIsn't that half the military history of Tibet?Also I remember reading that the sohei fighting against Nobunaga took advantage of the state of the country to deal with theological rivals.>no they have to be absolutely fully separated from secular issuesYou won't find that shit even for christians or muslims, because as soon as enough people bunch up secular interests appear.You just can't have war without material considerations.
>>18469415The Muslims fought over the question of succession, actually.
>>18469415No. Buddhists fighting Buddhists in general, of course that happened. But one sect of Buddhists fighting another sect for at least self proclaimed religious reasons? No.
>>18469422That counts as a reason of faith, since it wasn't just a legal succession but a spiritual one as well.
>>18469422Accept both sides see the other as degenerate apostates who deserve to die screaming before being plunged into the deepest hottest parts of Jahannam
no there wasn't and theravada is only true Buddhism everything else is larp
>>18469852Theravada is BS. They cope that they're the OG Buddhism when they're not, just the oldest surviving which isn't the same thing at all.
>>18469420>Isn't that half the military history of Tibet?Yes, but then again. Tibet was a non-Buddhist empire that transitioned to Buddhist empire. So it still retained a bit of its army that was being used across the country to crush oppositions. Standard empire building stuff.
