I was just reading a back issue of Tricycle magazine, a "Buddhist Review," in which the "renegade lama" Nawang Gehlek Rimpoche is profiled. Renegade because he drinks, used to smoke, has had sex, and renounced his vows as a monk. Pretty much a renegade then.
But nothing as compared to the wonderful T. Lobsang Rampa (how can you discuss Buddhism and not mention him?), also known as Cyril Hoskins, an Irish plumber from Plympton. The link above will connect you to what I think is possibly the greatest story ever told (or not, but it never fails to bring a smile to these jaded, cynical lips).

Buddhists are arseholes and extremely violent - try this link reporting on events from 1999 for size: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/472155.stm
Blimey, Reidski, you don't mince words. I look forward to your posting "Mormons? Bastards!"
Maybe it just looks violent because they know kung fu.
