The violent side of Sri Lankan Buddhism

You are confusing Sinhala Buddhism with other Buddhism, Sinhala Buddhism and its radical clergy subscribe to Jathika Chintanaya (Mahavamsa mindset) which promotes Sinhala Buddhist chauvinism and militancy

Soldiers of any country would get blessings of their religion that has nothing to do with religion. Similarly Catholic and Muslim soldiers got blessings from their respective religions.

mahavamsa is not a religious text book, it is just a historical book how much you wanted it to look otherwise

It was not only Buddhist monks who blessed for Sri Lanka and its forces Hindu priests as well. Later LTTE killed them

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Hindu priest killed in Sri Lanka

A Hindu priest who blessed Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse at the weekend has been shot dead.
Selliah Parameswar was killed near his house in eastern Batticaloa district on Wednesday evening while his wife and children were having dinner inside.
The authorities have blamed Tamil Tiger rebels, who deny killing him.
Mr Parameswar, an ethnic Tamil, met the president when he visited the former rebel bastion of Vakarai on Saturday. Troops captured the town last month.
'Cruel'
Quoting family members, the military said the priest had been forcibly taken from his house in the village of Sandiveli and shot dead by three gunmen.

President Rajapakse
His bullet-riddled body was later found nearby in a ditch behind the government school, a statement said.
It suggested he had been targeted because he had co-operated with the security forces in order to help civilians fleeing the fighting around Vakarai.
Mr Parameswar, 61, was head priest at the Pillaiyar Hindu temple in the village.
President Rajapakse said "savage and cruel Tamil Tiger terrorists" had killed him.
"When I went to him as the head of state he invoked divine blessings on me, as he did to all others who came to him, as a clergyman of the Tamil Hindu temple," he said in a statement.
"As a nation and a government we unequivocally condemn with contempt the assassination of this clergyman."

What the high ranking Sinhala Buddhist monks did was against their basic percept - No Killing, the other being no stealing and raping, so we can safely claim genocidal Lanka army, killing, raping Tamil civilian had the blessing of their chief Abbot

What we witness in genocidal Lanka today is political Buddhism, promoting the interests of the Sinhala-Buddhist majority , based on the primacy and superiority of the Sinhala race and religion.

At a a very young age, all Sinhala Buddhist children attending Sunday school (Daham Paasela) are brainwashed with Mahavamsa Buddhism mindset and Sinhala Buddhist racism into their sub-conscious minds.

They are taught, Tamils are invaders who do not belong to Sri Lanka. All the Tamils should be chased away to Tamil Nadu just the way their ancient Kings Dutugemunu did. Sri Lanka. Sinhalas and their brand of militant Buddhism should be protected from the Tamils. Terrorist Sinhala Buddhists believe that the entire Sri Lanka belongs to them and Tamils are aliens.
