Inferences drawn from the Three Universal Truths
Buddhism is rooted in three fundamental truths of the universe, the dharma seals, viz. According to the Buddhist tradition all phenomena other than Nirvana, ( sankhara) are marked by three characteristics sometimes referred to as the Dharma seals :
- Everything is in a constant state of change, nothing is permanent. (anicca)
- That "suffering" exists everywhere in Samsara. Impermanence ( Sanskrit: अनित्य anitya; Pāli: अनिच्चा anicca; Tibetan: མི་རྟག་པ་ (dukkha)
- That everything is devoid of a "self. Dukkha ( Pāli दुक्ख Sanskrit दुःख duḥkha; according to grammatical tradition derived from dus-kha "uneasy" " (anatta)
Thus, there can be no "perfect State"; from this Buddhist anarchists infer that it is only possible to try to approach an ideal community for all. In Buddhist philosophy, anatta ( Pāli) or anātman ( Sanskrit) refers to the notion of "not-self" Any man-made institution is impermanent as well as imperfect, as people and the world change constantly. Further, no material wealth or political power will grant people permanent happiness— unenlightened satisfaction is an illusion that only perpetuates samsara. Individual liberty, while a worthy goal for anarchists, is nevertheless incomplete, to the extent that it precludes our common humanity, since there is, ultimately, no "self" that is inherently distinct from the rest of the universe. Liberty, the freedom to act or believe without being stopped by unnecessary force Self is broadly defined as the essential qualities that make a person distinct from all others
That being said, the aim of a bodhisattva is to try to minimize the amount of suffering that goes on during the lives of conscious beings. In the Buddhist context a bodhisattva (बोधिसत्त्व bodhisattva;; Vietnamese Bồ Tát; बोधिसत्त bodhisatta The socialist anarchist argues that both the state and capitalism generate oppression and, therefore, suffering. Social anarchism, socialist anarchism, anarcho-socialism, anarchist socialism or Communitarian anarchism,(sometimes used interchangeably with A state is a political association with effective Sovereignty over a geographic Area and representing a Population. Capitalism is the Economic system in which the Means of production are owned by private Persons and operated for Profit and where Oppression is the act of using power to empower and/or privilege a group at the expense of disempowering marginalizing silencing and subordinating another group The former, the state, is an institution that frames the desire for power, and the latter, capitalism, the desire for material wealth. Trying to control other human beings, in the view of Buddhist anarchists, will only cause them to suffer, and ultimately causes suffering for those who try to control. Trying to hold on to and accumulate material wealth, likewise, increases suffering for the capitalist and those they do business with.
Compassion, for a Buddhist, springs from a fundamental selflessness. Compassion for humanity as a whole is what inspires the Buddhist towards activism; however, most, if not all, political groups tend to go against the Eightfold Path that steers Buddhist thought and action. Thus, anarchism, lacking a rigid ideological structure and dogmas, is seen as easily applicable for Buddhists. [1]

Differing interpretations
Eisai (明菴栄西), the founder of Rinzai school in Japan held quite a different view as regards the state (which is otherwise universally abhorred by all forms of anarchists) as shown in Ko-zen-go-koku-ron (The Protection of the State by the Propagation of Zen). Myōan Eisai (明菴栄西 ( April 20, 1141 – July 5, 1215) was a Japanese Buddhist priest credited with bringing the The Rinzai school ( Japanese: Rinzai-shū, Chinese: línjì zōng) is one of the three Japanese Zen sects. This, however, has not prevented the promotion of Zen Anarchism as "whatever you make it" or of Anarchists as "scholar warriors" with little reference to Zen Buddhism itself, but rather promoting a literary and psychological view rooted in Japanese militaristic tradition. Zen is a school of Mahāyāna Buddhism, referred to in Chinese as Chan. Militarism is the belief or desire of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it aggressively to defend or Parts of Japanese anarchism embraced this militarism and became ultra nationalists/[3]
Anarchism and Hindu fundamentalism

It should be noted that the relationship between Buddhism and Hinduism remains a controversial issue. (See Gautama Buddha in Hinduism and Buddhhadharma and Hinduism). Siddhārtha Gautama ( Sanskrit; Pali: Siddhattha Gotama) was a spiritual Teacher from Ancient India and the founder Hinduism is a religious tradition that originated in the Indian subcontinent. The controversy includes the usage of the term "Aryan", which does not necessarily carry racial connotations in Buddhism (where it more often means "noble" - see also aristocracy which comes from the same Aryan root). The term race or racial group usually refers to the concept of categorizing Humans into Populations or groups on the basis of various sets Nobility is a government-privileged title which may be either hereditary (see Hereditary titles) or for a lifetime Aristocracy is a form of Government, where rule is established through an internal struggle over who has the most status and influence over society and internal relations Aryan is an English word derived from the Sanskrit " Ārya " meaning "noble" or "honorable"
