An airstrike on a Buddhist monastery in Myanmar's central Sagaing region has killed at least 23 people who were taking shelter in the compound, sources said.
All the articles lead to just a handful of monks and a small group of their followers all of whom are military backed. It IS NOT wide-spread.
I can read and watch and understand what these militant monks have been saying and doing while you haven’t so your ASSUMPTION is again coming from absolute ignorance as are your arguments.
I’m not assuming, I’m going by the information that has been made avaible. Like here:
This violence has often been supported by factions within the Buddhist monastic community in Myanmar. Buddhist sermons regularly include Islamophobic messages such as unsubstantiated rumors of Muslim violence against Buddhists or Muslim plots to take over the country and destroy Buddhism. Thousands of monks have participated in anti-Muslim demonstrations, increasing interreligious tensions in the region. These elements of the Buddhist community have justified their actions using Buddhist theology, claiming that violence is acceptable if it is done in defense of their religion.
Regardless, there is no doubt that much of the Buddhist religious leadership of Myanmar has promoted violence against Muslims in the region.

This seems to directly contradict you.
As a side note, I find this part interesting:
The ethnic and religious violence in Myanmar is incredibly complex; the traumas of colonialism, poverty, the recent transition from a military government to a more democratic state, and the global war on terror all play major roles in shaping the conflict. However, the role of Buddhism in this conflict is clearly no less complex. While many monks in Myanmar seem to support and even advocate for violence against their Muslim neighbors, there are others who are constantly working to end the violence. Both believe their actions to be deeply inspired by Buddhism, and both use theology to justify their claims.
Maybe you will habe to just accept that there is no such thing as an easy truth here.
