Unless you are capable of violence you cannot be peaceful, only harmless.
Yep. Peace as a choice means violence was always an option.

Monk Hunk.
Some monks train their bodies either as part of their prayer or meditation, or train in order to be able to pray or meditate longer. They don't usually end up with arms that look like that, though.
I have heard martial arts described as "meditation in motion" before
Probably Tai Chi specifically.
Yeah. But you don't get this kind of arms doing taichi. Lots of other benefits, though.
Violence is never the solution, but if backed into a corner and given no other option heck yeah he will ora ora you into oblivion.
Theres no ora ora if you get a monk like that to hit you, one hit will put you to sleep.
That's why monks are able to run up walls at level 9.
Been to Thailand a couple of times and I always thought Buddhist monks were holy lifelong devotees that never did any wrong. Turns out that there is parts of the country where reformed prisoners have the option to join a monastery as a monk to serve their sentence. So in many places, those tough looking monks you see are actually gang members and criminals serving out a sentence .... some of them are honestly reformed, some are working on it, and some are just gaming the system.
You can also avoid military service in Thailand by becoming a monk, but you gotta be one for a good while.
Sounds worth it

Lol "hardline Buddhist monk"
