While the Buddha is described as participating in public presentations of his experiential, dogmaless Dhamma [Dharma], and thereby disagreeing with other peoples' practices or traditions, he never did so with an oppositional, conversional fervor. He did not raise the excited prophetic banner of charismatic religion. He expressed his nonviolent ethic but he did not campaign for it. His tone, topic, and style were uniform.
