Excuse me? What I posted there is very clear on the subject. Lord Buddha was not an anarchist, he counseled Kings and politicians too. I can even post more things on the matter if you want to. He never said evil should defeat good, thus he never declared violence must always be avoided for lay people. I hope this is clear.
At least you took the opportunity to answer my question now so I’m thankful for it. I believe the fear is due to ignorance, more especially, a fixed view of a self. One should not be scared of death, abuse and torture.
I guess I’ll continue to read the Suttas on these matters myself. Thank you.
