3. Situation of Buddhists and Hindus

So, that's the way the Buddhists do it.

However, apart from Buddhists, hardly anyone can consistently follow this principle.

There are 765,135 Catholics, 30,538 Protestants, 24,938 Muslims, 5,500 Hindus and 2,787 Buddhists.48

Most other religions have adherents in Guam, including Jehovah's Witnesses, Jews, Buddhists and Muslims.5

The rest of the population comprises Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews and Atheists (see table 8).

However, the main minorities, in descending order of strength, were Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Zoroastrians (Parsis).

Unlike Dalit Sikhs and Buddhists, Muslim and Christian Dalits had not been granted Scheduled Caste status under domestic legislation.

I've been female, and I've been every single one of yours' mother in a previous life, the way the Buddhists reflect.

And then the Buddhists, of course, think that, because we've all had infinite previous lives, we've all been each other's relatives, actually.

It includes Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims and people with other spiritual background who work together to overcome violence and division in the human family.

66. In recent years, there has been a large increase in the number of Buddhists and Hindus in Australia and their communities are now being structured.

But what would you think was the second largest group, convincingly outnumbering Jews with 2.8 million, Muslims at 1.1 million, and Hindus, Buddhists and all other religions put together?

58. According to the information received, Buddhists and Hindus may freely carry out their religious activities, including religious services and traditions and the management of the business of their religious institutions.

And this is not only about Islamic extremism. There are extremist acts perpetrated against Muslims because of their religion, and today there are fanatical Christians, Jews, Hindus, and Buddhists who disfigure the true nature of their faith.

One such initiative is the Marseille hope ( quot Marseille espérance quot ) project in Marseille, which involves ongoing dialogue between Armenians, Buddhists, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Eastern Orthodox and Protestants working together to prevent the rise in racism and intolerance.

He remains very concerned about reports of ongoing discrimination against the Rohingya ethnic minority in northern Rakhine state, including the destruction of mosques by Government forces and the forced labour practice of ordering civilians to construct model villages to resettle Buddhists onto Muslim land.

By stoking Buddhist violence against the Rohingya, the regime aims to damage Suu Kyi and the NLD s chances of victory in two ways. If she speaks out for the Rohingya, her appeal among Buddhists, the vast majority of Myanmar s citizens, may be dented enough to preserve the army s grip on power.

Consider the proliferation of jihadist groups, such as the Islamic State, which continues to seize territory in Iraq and Syria, and Boko Haram, which has been engaged in a brutal campaign of abductions, bombings, and murder in Nigeria. There have also been violent clashes between Buddhists and Muslims in Myanmar and southern Thailand, and between Islamists and Catholics in the Philippines.

The NGO Taskforce against Torture has documented over 500 cases of torture and intimidation by radical Islamists, who also have murdered supporters of the Communist Party, such as Abdul Kayyam Badshah. Indeed, Hindus, Christians, and Buddhists have been targeted as well, and religious extremists more recently have attacked Sufi shrines deemed to be idolatrous, and even Bengali cultural events that unite all religions in a common identity.

It has been necessary for the Government to involve itself in many aspects of ordinary life, including discouraging Christian missionaries from targeting Muslims for conversion, stopping mosques from sharply turning up the volume of their loudspeakers when calling the faithful to prayer, limiting the size of joss sticks which Buddhists and Taoists burn for their rituals and arresting those who incite racial and religious hatred.

I will not dwell on Tsipras s parliamentary alliance with the conspiracy minded, right wing Independent Greeks, whose leaders do not shy away from diatribes against homosexuals, Buddhists, Jews, and Muslims. Nor will I dwell on the fact that Tsipras did not refrain, when assembling parliamentary support for his referendum, from soliciting the support of the neo Nazi Golden Dawn party, whose help any other European leader would have rejected.

This acceptance was rooted in the belief that Gülen members would adhere to the fundamental requirement in a pluralist democracy that bureaucrats whether Muslims in Turkey, Mormons in the United States, or Buddhists in Japan do not allow their religious convictions to trump their commitment to public service and the rule of law. What the government did not imagine was that a new vision of bureaucratic tutelage over the civilian government would emerge.
