First, innocent Thai Theravada Buddhist farmhands being exploited in Israel get taken captive by Hamas/Al Qassam Brigades fighters, who broke out of Gaza Prison and entered Israel to engage the IDF in battle. The Buddhists are seen being released in this shocking video from the Indian media, which Israel wishes were censored or erased from the history books:
Buddhist captives hug Hamas
Kind Hamas (AQB) militants exchange sweet goodbyes with captives.

| Wrong view leads to a lot of bad karma. |
Why? If a Buddhist monastic advises, extols, or praises the killing of a person (even by the act of abortion, which suggests a "fetus" or "clump of cells" is a person right at the moment of conception) and the person kills, the person who advised it is also guilty of that murder.
In fact, anyone who kills, steals, engages in sex, or claims attainments one has not attained is guilty of defeat and has immediately falls irretrievably from the state of a monastic for the remainder of this life.
This person, parading around like a Zen monk, is advising others to kill, and they are killing, so this person is no monastic. Of course, many who don the habit of a Zen monastic are actually lay people at the temple, not ordained members of the Sangha (Buddhist monastic community).
- Who is this Israeli maniac? Nissim Amon (Hebrew ניסים אמון, born 1963) is an Israeli Zen master and meditation teacher. He is the developer of "Trilotherapy" [a kind of Freudian psychotherapy to adjust to killing and other heinous karma?]
- עמוד הבית - ניסים אמון (nissimamon.com)
Jewish Zen "master" instructs Israelis how to kill without compassion
— It features what looks like a Zen Buddhist monk (Nissim Amon or is it "Ammo"?) offering suggestions for Israeli soldiers ("princes and princesses") on
- killing,
- saving ammunition,
- not showing any mercy,
- and not dwelling in guilt on the horrible atrocities they may have just committed while participating in the ground invasion, onslaught, police state policing, and ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
It turns out, however, that leveraging Zen (Mahayana) Buddhism to achieve military aims may be a long and honored tradition.
Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, along with Due Dissidence’s Keaton Weiss, discuss the seeming conflict between Buddhist doctrine (which is the marriage of wisdom and compassion) and rank militarism (which is state-sponsored mass murder).
