Question for Buddhists because I haven't studied the religion: how do Buddhists react to an unjust invasion? If there is an unequivocally unjust war happening in their land, do buddhists take up arms or do they remain pacifist? Or if they are guests at someone's home, and robbers enter the home and attack the owner's family. Are buddhists allowed to violently defend their host?

>avoids nihilisim
many interpretations of it veer into crypto-nihilism
>Gods as your best bro
Why are buddhafags constantly seething about any mention if God and faith then?
>scriptures and doctrine make sense
except the part about how parinirvana purportedly isn’t an annihilation if the aggregates are wiped out and there is nothing about us that continues in parinirvana
>cant be attacked by atheism
Buddhism employs the same arguments and appeals to reddit-tier empiricism when its not inconsistently talking about supernatural stuff like karma, but you can flip the script and reject all the claims of Buddhism about anicca, karma, rebirth, anatta as unfounded metaphysical claims just as an atheist rejects theism, and there is nothing that Buddhism can do since it cant prove those things as true.
>Inner peace
not /lit/ Buddhists, kek, anyway every religion has this
>realistic
Its’s really not, it presupposes that a rationally-ordered universe exists randomly for no reason and that things like karma tabulate one’s actions and so on for no reason why is logically absurd.
>true enlightenment
kek
>proven by scientific research
It’s dogmas are unproven, and the meditative and prayer of every religion have been studied and shown to have a measurable effect/benefit. The idea that this is uniquely true of Buddhism is myth pushed by modernists, its been debunked by Evan Thompson in “Why Im Not a Buddhist”
>Pure Indo-Aryan Religion
It’s one step removed from the actual pure Indo-Aryan religion, Hinduism

I'm interested in answers based in doctrine, otherwise I have no way of knowing if their actions are allowed in Buddhism

Buddhism allows violence for self-defense

>>22846769
