Head of Sri Lankan Buddhist group calls on Modi to rule India like Ashoka

[Tshering22]

didn't know Sinhala Buddhist clergy had so much influence in Indian politics, in other words the Sinhala Buddhist clergy is calling for the expansion of the India empire under 'Cakkavatti' Modi

In short, they also want Akhand Bharat.

All Dharmic religions must come together we are one family, I respect his words and hope we can build bridges for all our people.

1.Asoka ascended the throne after killing 99 brothers and a huge bloodbath he ordered. Thence he became a pacifist. Let us see if Butcher Modi also embraces pacifism.

2.Btw, there are already talks among RSS/VHP cadre to replace Aska's chakra on the tiranga with BJP's lotus which has religious association to the Hindus.

Ashoka's Chakra is based on the dharmacakra which also is significant to Hindus and we proud of it why would we want to replace it?

I've also read that he renounced violence and war after he became a buddhist, is it true?

Before he became a Buddhist, he was a vicious guy who killed his own brothers for the throne. The guy had special torture chambers for his enemies. It was the scale of destruction and death his armies caused in Kalinga i.e modern day Orrisa that probably awakened his conscience.

 

[Chronos]

Didn't Ashoka become a buddhist?

Yes. Buddhism flourished under his rule.

Hindus regard Buddha as an avatar of Vishnu

His sons probably could conquer kingdoms.

A convenient loophole.

Buddha was a normal person. He was Human just like us.

I guess you received a confidential memo from the RSS regarding this

 

[Chronos]

So in essence, he is asking Modi to become Buddhist?

Modi should convert to Islam and make India an Islamic state..that would be the best thing.

Also the most laugh inducing.

I know dude, but try telling this to the faithful . By the way have you seen the movie "The Man from Earth", gives an alternate perspective about the great human historical/religious figures.

 

[Sriram]

No way!!! Ashoka's pacifism, saintliness and self-imposed guilt made him so weak that his empire collapsed.

Not in hell.

He should rule like Chandragupta Maurya. The conqueror. The bringer of justice. The leader of the people. The destroyer of those who invaded India then.

All kings had war as state policy... Ashoka was the only king in recorded history to preach peace..

India is an awesome special country we dont need run of the mill conquerors we need greatest of the great that is Asoka...

Just like Ashoka civilized Sri Lnaka then .. I hope Modi does it again now and peach humanity and peaceful coexistence to them again...

Buddha was a great teacher, who taught the "Middle path" (中道).

 

[Yeti]

Lord Buddah was a great soul and teacher for all mankind, there is one quote of his which I love he speaks about not believing in anything that is written or said until it agrees with your own logic which is simply magical to read.

 

[livingdead]

we want a democratic PM not a king. Rajapaksa is your ashoka.
