“Violence abounds in Buddhist thoughts, doctrine, and actions. However, it is not widely acknowledged or understood.”
Michael Jerryson, If You Meet the Buddha on the Road: Buddhism, Politics, and Violence

“There is no global authority to ascertain and to confirm "authentic" Buddhists. While Buddhist sanghas (monastic communities) have the power to defrock monks from their particular community, there is no global platform to survey all monks, much less an institution to assess the viability of Buddhist laity.”
Michael Jerryson, If You Meet the Buddha on the Road: Buddhism, Politics, and Violence

“While emptiness serves to explain reality ontologically and epistemologically, it also provides a critical lens for valuing human life. This line of reasoning raises the following query: if human life is empty of any true nature—if we are to abandon notions of an "I" and a self—what, then, is destroyed in killing a person?”
Michael Jerryson, If You Meet the Buddha on the Road: Buddhism, Politics, and Violence
