✨ Gazing intently into the empty sky, vision ceases; / Likewise, when mind gazes into mind itself, / The train of discursive and conceptual thought ends / And supreme enlightenment is gained. — Tilopa (c. 988–c. 1069) ✨

This is a tedious hit piece that gets re-run every few years. It always makes the same mistakes.
(1) overlooking the colonization of South Asia and Burma by British troops, Protestant missionaries, and capitalists, which is directly responsible for both Hindu Sangh Parivar violence (like Modi and the RSS/VHP) and Buddhist ethnic nationalism in Sri Lanka and Burma
(2) setting up a "wow, gosh, everyone thinks Buddhism is peaceful" straw man argument - look at the Mongols, Japanese Zen during the early 20th century, modern Korean Buddhism (nationalist and happy with military service), the Khampas who fought a guerilla war against the PLA.... it's only hand-wringing elites drenchef in colonial power who don't actually know the history of Buddhists worldwide.
(3) Treating Buddhist lineages worldwide as all part of a single "religion" -- itself a colonial idea enforced by European Christian missionaries, and now inescapably part of the post-colonial trap.
